The Winslow Boy
When 14-year-old Ronnie Winslow is expelled from the Royal Naval College for theft, his father, Arthur, is convinced that Ronnie was wrongly accused. After Sir Robert Morton, a respected lawyer, agrees to represent the boy, the case becomes a national spectacle and threatens to erode the family's bond.

The Winslow Boy might be triumph of style over substance, but sometimes, like in this case, style is what separates good from bad films.
