Young Ronnie Winslow (Guy Edwards) has been accused of stealing and, in consequence, thrown out of the royal naval academy. Convinced of his young son's innocence, Arthur Winslow (Nigel Hawthorne) enlists the help of Sir Robert Morton (Jeremy Northam), a famed attorney. As Sir Robert does everything in his power to win the Winslow Boy case, the Winslow family begins to realize it will take many sacrifices to clear Ronnie's name.Pros: I love Sir Robert Morton! He's a really cool guy who cares more about the Winslows (and one particularly attractive one, I might add. Don't look at her in the picture; she's really a lot prettier than that) than about his career or reputation. The ending rather surprised me.
Cons: This movie was based on a play, which is quite obvious. Too many of the lines are repeated (how many times do they have to say everything?!).
My Rating: OK (Ronnie's older brother Dickie is rather a dissolute character)
