At a British Regimental party in Colonial India the widow of Captain Scarlett is assaulted in the garden and she accuses one of the newly arrived junior lieutenants of the crime.
Like some wines, “Conduct Unbecoming” travels well. Barry England’s play about a messy officers’ mess in Victorian India was a hit in London before landing on Broadway, and it has lost none of its flavor in the British-made movie…Dealing with a scandalous mystery exposed in a trial at a frontier army post, it is largely a suspenseful period piece that lovingly recalls and jibes at Hollywood’s India. Its taut construction, mounting tension and polished performances make for a fascinating entertainment.. – New York Times
