Sinclair is a hard-bitten, hard drinking war hero. Barrow, the man who takes over from him, is Sandhurst-trained and a gentleman.

In the claustrophobic world of Campbell Barracks, the two men clash with tragic consequences for them both.

Starring Bill Paterson as Lt.-Col. Jock Sinclair and Alexander Morton as Lt.-Col. Basil Barrow.

James Kennaway 's famous novel about the impact of a new commanding officer on the men of a Scottish battalion was memorably filmed in 1960.
