Robert Mitchum stars in this WW 2 drama as an American Army officer assigned to represent another officer being court-martialed for murder. The defendant is superbly played by Keenan Wynn, and Mitchum tries to prove he acted under insanity when he committed the crime. Barry Sullivan has the role of the commanding general who wants the defendant executed for his actions, and Trevor Howard is exellent in his portrayal of a British Army doctor trying to help Mitchum. Another often overlooked but very good WW 2 movie.
One of my favorite movies. Keenan Wynn is amazing giving the performance of a career. Robert Mitchum gives a great performance. Based on the novel The Winston Affair. Thanks for posting.
