A powerful film about a military establishment in wartime, but not a war film per se, is 'The Hill'. It is a well observed story about life in a British MPE (military prison establishment) in the middle east during WW2. The acting is of the highest calibre, and the film feels totally realistic. Harry Andrew played the role of Establishment RSM to perfection, and he was ably supported by the rest of the cast. 1RTR members will immediately spot the beret badge worn by Sean Connery! If you have never seen this film, do yourself a favour and rent a copy.
