Alec Guinness stars in this 1960 movie about the power struggle
between two officers in a Scottish military battalion. Guinness' Major
Jock Sinclair is a good-natured, laid-back career soldier, full of
affection and respect for his men. When Lt. Colonel Basil Barrow (John
Mills), an upper-class "by the book" martinet, assumes command of the
base, sparks fly between the two men, leading to an inevitable
showdown.
