I am a big fan of the director's work and Margaret Leighton as an actress.
So while I must have seen this on tv many years ago I was glad to find the dvd recently.
I just watched it and wish I had enjoyed it more.
I give no plot spoilers but it is a (British) army set legal drama.
The peacetime army setting reminds me a lot of Paths Of Glory but that is a much more satisfying film in my opinion.
One of the pleasures for me of these old British films is spotting the same actors again and again.
Film fans will recognise many of the actors in this,eg Geoffrey Keene.
I can't say this is an awful film but I am surprised how much it is praised by people on here.
No plot spoilers but I didn't find the plot easy to follow,it did not grip me.
