I just came across some behind the scenes footage on youtube, entitled "The Making of The Charge of the Light Brigade." Fascinating, especially how WB techs dug a trench and put in a rail for the camera to travel alongside the horses.
High tech, 1936 style. Film is in excellent quality, runs about 7 min, no sound.

Does anybody know--is there much footage like this, documenting set-ups for films of the 1930's?

I know the "Gunga Din" dvd has some home-movie footage, but its mostly movie stars grinning, not so gritty as this. Hope my link below, works.

Was that fountain scene near the end from THEY WON'T FORGET?

Some of that CHARGE footage was used in the long trailer THE LIGHT BRIGADE RIDES AGAIN. As for the rest of the footage, much of it looks like it was shot with a newsreel camera. I'm sure the studios shot a ton of this stuff, most of it gone with the wind.
