"We don't like our
personnel being arrested by outside people, without our knowing
about it.
There are three ways of doing things: the right way,
the wrong way, and the Army way.
See that in doing it your way,
Mr. Brenner, you don't forget about the Army way." –
Col. Fowler
Why watch this?
An excellent adaptation from the book of the same name.

Dad's Preview:
An attractive Army Captain, Elisabeth Campbell, is found
murdered. Investigating Officers start the case and
quickly uncover things they were not meant to find.
This military crime drama is intensely thrilling, and the pacing is perfect.
It becomes clear that high-ranking military officials,
including the Captain's father, are involved. The cast
does a very nice job selling the story and the ending
holds quite an unexpected surprise. |
