An endless stream of empty dialogue spouted by thoroughly irritating one-dimensional characters. By far the most annoying aspect of this film, however, is the insufferable intellectual smugness of the playwright that pervades the entire piece. Needless to say, it is wholly unwarranted.

I'd never heard of Robert Taylor before seeing this film. But for the first half hour I was scratching my head, as I couldn't understand why an American would be wearing a British army uniform during WWI ... was he taking part in some sort of military exchange programme? Every now and again, he'd say something vaguely English-sounding, and I'd wonder if maybe he was actually supposed to be English. However, the whole matter was resolved some way into the film when it transpired that the character was actually Scottish (?!?)

Fantastic casting.
