Last week I had the great pleasure of interviewing Ric Chauvel Carlsson, grandson of the legendary Charles and Elsa Chauvel. It was to promote the DVD release of two classic Chauvel films, Forty Thousand Horsemen and The Rats of Tobruk. The interview was done for Filmink magazine and a link is here.
