Good cast
28 March 2019 | by malcolmgsw – See all my reviews

Robert Mitcham was in his prime when he afe this film.However like all stars he didnt always chose roles that fit his persona.He is a rather unlikely defence lawyer called upon to defend a somewhat disturbed Keenan Wynne at a courts martial. Trevor Howand gives an effective performance in a supporting role.Lionel Bart composed the music.
