Sharpe (TV series)
Sharpe (TV series) (1992)

Origin United-kingdom
Themes Political films, Napoleonic Wars films, French Revolution films
Actors Sean Bean, Daragh O'Malley

At the beginning of the series, Richard Sharpe (Sean Bean) is a sergeant in the 95th Rifles serving in Portugal in 1809. When he singlehandedly saves the life of General Sir Arthur Wellesley (David Troughton in the first two films, then Hugh Fraser for the following films) from a group of French cavalrymen, Wellesley gives Sharpe a battlefield commission, appointing him a lieutenant. Sharpe is placed in charge of a detachment of the 95th Rifles: The term used for his men, 'chosen men' reflected the men's acknowledgment of marksmanship performance, rather than rank; it granted some privileges (such as avoiding certain routine duties) to the 'chosen men'. Patrick Harper (Daragh O'Malley) eventually becomes his best friend and is promoted to sergeant and later sergeant major.

À hauteur d'homme est inspiré de la vie du docteur Louis Seutin, médecin et chirurgien belge du XIX siècle qui s'initia à son art au milieu des combats des guerres du Premier Empire français.

The new crewman, Billy Budd (Terence Stamp), is considered naive by his shipmates, and they attempt to indoctrinate him in their cynicism.
