Charge of the Lancers is a Columbia adventure film of the 1950s. Paulette Goddard, pushing 50, plays a lively gypsy girl who romances an British military officer (the robustly non-British Jean-Pierre Aumont) during the Crimean War of the 1850s. Goddard and Aumont are captured by the Russians, but escape to do some spying for the Allied cause. All of this leads up to the British victory at Sebastopol, staged with both eyes on the budget sheet by resourceful director William Castle. Charge of the Lancers was filmed in Technicolor.
