This appears to be a remake of the older film: The Man in the Middle. The war time alliance is uneasy. Australians are in the war by one vote. They are concerned with national defence and recalled their troops from North Africa. In the midst of the angst, an American misfit kills an Australian.
The defen(s)e is intended to be pro forma.
I did like the older movie MAN IN THE MIDDLE and the Howard Fast Book upon which it was based.
I wish more Australian films like this circulated in the US.
