Featured review
excellent courtroom drama
This movie was originally a stage play and it shows. The writing is excellent and the sets are few and it is all about the interpersonal relationships that unfold as the movie unfolds. The direction is excellent. Simple and sparse. Asquith let's the words and the actors do their thing and they do it very well. One of the gems hidden in Amazon Prime. To hide it further, the movie even has two names. Either Court Martial or Carrington VC. It's very British but when the British do it right, it is well worth watching. David Niven, Margaret Leighton are excellent as is everyone else.
