Wow, a 19-year-old Mia Farrow in her first credited role.
But, eye-candy aside, the real stars are Richard Attenborough (Gandhi, Jurassic Park) as the Regimental Sergeant Major, and Flora Robson as MP Barker-Wise.
Upheaval in Africa as a newly independent country decides to change leadership, provides a backdrop for conflict between the RSM and the mutinous Lieutenant (Errol John) who supports the new government.
The stiff discipline of the British Army is on full display as the RSM tries to protect his charges.
The acting by all was excellent, and the story was both dramatic and funny at times.
