In Popular Media
Nolan was played by David Hemmings in the 1968 film The Charge of the Light Brigade. In the film Nolan is portrayed as a haughty, glory-hungry officer, but also a "symbol of youth, energy and professionalism...desperate...to reform the army". His character as depicted in the film appears to be a composite of several officers who had managed to incur Cardigan's dislike over the years; the 'black bottle' incident actually involved a Captain John Reynolds of the 11th Hussars.
