I first saw The Charge of the Light Brigade on TV at age seven. I talked my mother into letting me stay up for the late show, might have been a school night. The Charge, of course, made the biggest impression.

I had gotten a set of The World Book Encyclopedia for Christmas a few months previously. The Robert Barrat character, who was a Russian Count commanding the batteries at Balaclava, reminded me of Stalin, whose entry I read in The World Book. The Russians were really the enemy then.

The Charge of the Light Brigade is on TCM at 8 p.m. ET Monday night.
