Legends of the Fall
From Free net encyclopedia
Legends of the Fall is a 1994 film directed by Edward Zwick and starring Anthony Hopkins, Julia Ormond, Henry Thomas, Aidan Quinn, Brad Pitt and Bart the Bear. Although it won the Academy Award for Best Cinematography, the film did not do as well as expected at the box office.
The movie's timeframe spans from World War I through the Prohibition Era and into the 1920s, and it ends briefly in 1963.

Trivia
The movie was filmed primarily in Alberta and Vancouver (Helena, Montana street scenes).
The World War I scenes were filmed north of Calgary and involved hundreds of locally recruited extras. The Canadian Forces provided a few dozen servicemen, from both the regular and reserve forces, to act as a cadre for the extras, under local historian Simon Sherwood. The war scenes were filmed over a two week period on a large outdoor set with faithfully reconstructed trenches and a tented encampment/field hospital.
The unit depicted in the film is the Tenth Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force, as evidenced by the "C-over-10" badges worn by Henry Thomas. Kilted soldiers in the film represent a company of the Sixteenth Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force (today perpetuated by The Canadian Scottish Regiment), as evidenced by the Cameron of Erracht tartan kilts (one company of the 16th was recruited from the 79th Cameron Highlanders from Winnipeg.) The Tenth Battalion is perpetuated by The Calgary Highlanders, who provided several servicemen for the training cadre, and whose kit shop provided the C-over-10 badges used on many of the uniforms.Template:Drama-film-stub
