 Laurence Harvey (I) (qv) had planned to make a film about the  charge, even to the extent of bidding for the original Light Brigade  bugle when it appeared for auction in 1964. As part of a settlement  with Woodfall Films, he was cast as a Russian prince in the film but  his part was cut out completely. He can, however, briefly be seen in  the theatre audience sitting near Trevor Howard (I) (qv) as the  crowd shouts out, "Black bottle."
