King and Country
King and Country ★★★ 1964
Aristocratic army officer, Capt. Hargreaves (Bogarde), serves as the defense lawyer for troubled Private Arthur Hamp (Courtenay), whose wartime experiences have caused him to desert. Hargreaves at first ignores the uneducated Hamp's obvious shell-shock but soon begins to feel sympathy for his confused client. Director Losey shows the effects of war rather than the war itself and provides a sincere and bitter condemnation of military mentality. Based on the play “Hamp” by John Wilson. 86m/B VHS, DVD . GB Dirk Bogarde, Tom Courtenay, Leo McKern, Barry Foster, James Villiers, Peter Copley; D: Joseph Losey; W: Evan Jones; C: Denys Coop; M: Larry Adler. British Acad. ‘64: Film.
