Andrew Sarris Film Culture The sole power of the film is derived from the excellent readings of the dialogue. Feb 3, 2021 Full Review Clyde Gilmour Maclean's Magazine ...this intelligent courtroom drama offers more than the usual portions of adult dialogue, adroit acting and reasonable motivations.

Audience Member Classic army coutroom drama that manages to be gripping without ever being dry. Above all it's very, very British. Horrible ending, though, which just seems to peter out. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This is a lovely British film; David Niven plays a holder of the Victoria Cross who is being court-martialled. The film is thoroughly 1950s, very British, and I really enjoyed it; the film was full of a lovely humour. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/23/23 Full Review Audience Member Not the greatest of courtroom dramas, but David Niven gives a controlled performance of the court-marshalled soldier which makes it very watchable. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/06/23 Full Review Audience Member Dated but good drama, with plenty of British Stiff Upper Lip! Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member The story is slight and somewhat overblown but the twists towards the end are effective and the performances keep you involved. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Audience Member David Niven is maliciously accused of theft by his scheming Commanding Officer - but wins the day. and the girl, whilst maintaining his dignity and stiff upper lip throughout! Quality British courtroom drama. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review Read all reviews
