Einst ein Held (1960)
Lieutenant Colonel Jock Sinclair ist der Kommandeur eines traditionsreichen schottischen Regiments, das sich im Zweiten Weltkrieg große Verdienste erworben hat. Als charismatischer Soldat und raubeiniger Haudegen hat Jock kein Verständnis dafür , dass sich sein Regiment in Friedenszeiten stärker auf repräsentative Aufgaben konzentrieren soll. Dementsprechend undiszipliniert führt er seine Männer. Doch als Jock mit Lieutenant Colonel Basil Barrow ein neuer Regiments-Kommandeur vor die Nase gesetzt wird, ändern sich die Zeiten. Voller Verbitterung muss Kriegsheld Sinclair hinnehmen, dass ein unerfahrener Offizier sein Vorgesetzter wird. Als Sinclair im Affekt einen Untergebenen schlägt, spitzt sich die Rivalität zwischen den beiden Kommandeuren dramatisch zu...
