starring Ronald Reagan
Patricia Neal , Richard Todd
Stationed in Burma, Cpl Lachlan McLachlan is unlucky enough to be wounded on the last day of the war. After an operation he is convinced that he is well again -but, in fact, he has only weeks to live. His fellow soldiers are assigned the task of helping ' Lachie ' through his last weeks, a task made difficult by his terse and unfriendly nature. In this moving drama that made the young Richard Todd a star, Ronald Reagan made his only appearance in a British film.
Screenplay by RANALD MACDOUGALL from the play by john PATRICK
