    Question Movie Review?

    Years ago I saw repeated ads in Military History Magazine for a film called, "Chasing The Deer". It stars Roy Anderson & Brian Blessed. I've found very little about it online, and Netflix doesn't carry it.
    Has anyone seen it? How biased or balanced is it? Is it accurate? How to find it?
    Thanks!

    It was an extremely low budget film, produced in Scotland, by (I believe) Cromwell Films. The producer of record is (I believe) Brian McWinney who used to have offices on Leith Walk in Edinburgh. McWinney also produced "The Occult Reich" which some may have seen on The History Channel.

    I saw it soon after it came out. Disappointing is the kindest single word description I can offer.

    Thank you, gentlemen. I'll take your implied advice and avoid it.

    I've seen it, too - and your decision is a wise one!

    As I recall the film was financed (at least in part) by the actors, who paid the producers to appear in the picture! Brian Blessed was, I believe, the only paid performer...
