Trivia
Final acting role for Robert Montgomery in a theatrical film. He continued with acting roles on TV as well as directing some theatrically released films.

Citas
Adam Heyward: Well, I don't know what you call it here, but at home we'd say I was a 'character witness'. A witness as to the prisoner's character, my Lord.
The British Judge: Yes, I see. Let us say rather a witness to the prisoner's reputation.
Adam Heyward: We would say character, sir.
The British Judge: Mr Heywood. It was written long ago by an eminent divine, a man's reputation is what his neighbours think of him. His character is what God knows of him.

Reputation is what your neighbors think of you....

I adore Robert Montgomery. He was a totally classy guy without being self-consciously so.

Here he plays a tough NYC attorney who is urged by his secretary to not just send money to the man who saved his life in the war but to cross the Atlantic to assist in his defense.

Montgomery directed and while there's a blessed minimum of cutesy quaintness added in the English village setting, it has a consistently British "literacy" bordering on wordiness, perhaps not out of place in courtroom scenes. It's all very low key and well done. Robert Montgomery had not lost any of his style since his early days and is still wry and bemused in one of his final acting roles.
