Yes. However, it's the comparing of the two wannabe epics, being 'Zulu Dawn' and 'Custer Of The West'.
I like 'Zulu Dawn', because, although not represented accurately, it did show the combined British units involved at Isandlwana - 24th, R.A., I.M.I., Colonials, N.N.H. and N.N.C.

If CUSTER OF THE WEST had a fabulas soundtrack (which it doesn't!) then Custer would be extra better, so many films, such as HOW THE WEST WAS WON have greater impact sometimes because of their musical score.
(How The West Was Won isn't that great when you look at it today, but the music still stands out as one of EPIC proportions) Likewise, ZULU DAWN, a very poor musical soundtrack....Listen to the soundtrack to KING KONG 1976 for example, poor film, but rememberable soundtrack, therefore the movie feels Bigger than what it actually is! I do believe also that CUSTER was shot in cinerama, which, for its time was something of a classic, purely because of the Cinerama tag, again, people thought the film better than it actually was. But I love it none the less.
Sheldon - See you at the widescreen weekend. Pity no ZULU showing this year...
