Carrington V.C. (1954) is one of those films that really delves into the moral complexities of military life. Directed by Anthony Asquith, it features David Niven as Major Charles Carrington, who finds himself in hot water for a petty theft that spirals into a deeper examination of duty and honor. The atmosphere is quite tense, especially during the court martial, which captures the weight of accusation and the impact on a man's career. Niven's performance is nuanced, carrying both charm and desperation. The pacing might feel deliberate, but it allows for reflection on themes of loyalty and the harsh realities of service. Practical effects are minimal but effective, keeping the focus on the characters' inner struggles rather than action. A solid, character-driven drama that stands apart for its introspective take on duty.
