Featured review
Blazing a Trail
A major event in its day, and considered of sufficient historical value to qualify for an entry in the first edition of 'The Filmgoers Companion'. Although it unfortunately crashed and burned both with the critics (Rachel Low naturally dismissed it as "monumentally slow and dull") and at the box office, 'The Glorious Adventure' by one of those happy chances film history is prone to miraculously survives and can now be viewed on YouTube.
As a film it frankly isn't terribly interesting, Lady Diana Manners like many society beauties of yesteryear makes little impression in the lead, but compensations can be found in the supporting cast, such as Victor McLaglan's 'notorious rogue' Bulfinch and Lennox Pawle - best remembered as Mr Dick in Metro's 'David Copperfield - as a cherubic Samuel Pepys; while Lois Sturt provides a saucy young Nell Gwynn and it ends with one of those conflagrations (in this case the Great Fire of London itself) already obligatory in early colour productions.
