Anecdotes
The VC worn by David Niven was a genuine medal borrowed by the studio. It belonged to Arthur Henry Cross VC, Machine Gun Corps (Camberwell).

Gaffes
A British court-martial appeal does not allow new evidence, as it is not a retrial of a case, but a trial of the trial itself, to argue improper procedure or other problems with the trial.

niven could do anything.

When 125 pounds goes missing on a british military base, major carrington (niven) is brought in for questioning. Quite the suspense, since most of the people present in the room are sure he's guilty, guilty, guilty. Also some humor, as the sergeant at arms always makes a racket, as he stomps around and rattles the water glasses. Several people know what really happened, but can he convince them to tell the truth? Hopefully, they will respect an officer wearing the victoria's cross. A good story, very realistic. This film was made a couple years before niven's oscar winning separate tables. Directed by anthony asquith, son of the prime minister. Quite an interesting connection in asquith's bio here on imdb, involving oscar wilde. This film is also called carrington v.c.
