"The Winslow Boy"

David Mamet directed this film based on a 194o's play by Terrence Rattigan, which itself was based on a true incident. It takes place in 1912 London and involves a study of what happens to an upper class family whoi chooses to appeal the expulsion of their falsely accused son from a maratime academy. One of their three children is Rebecca Pigeon (Mamet's wife) and she is a sufferaget juggling two lovers and actually in ove with a third, the attorney defending her brother. This is a very subtle film with many nuances and is exquisitely directed and acted. Highly recommended.
