Anecdotes
Loosely based on the early life of Guy Burgess, a key figure in the Cambridge Five spy ring of the 1930s and 1940s, who eventually defected to Russia in 1951. Even the manner of "Guy Bennett"'s father's death, as he discloses it to Harcourt, is the same as Burgess's father. Even so, the closing credits make the standard declaration, "The events, characters and firms depicted in this photoplay are fictitious. Any similarity to actual persons, living or dead, or to actual firms is purely coincidental."

Gaffes
When the cadets are on parade in the school quadrangle, the statue of a man in seventeenth-century dress identifies their location as the courtyard of the Bodleian Library, on the campus of Oxford University.

Burgess & Communism

Guy Burgess became a communist, spied for the Soviet Union, and lived there for the rest of his life after he was found out. Why? Because, as far as we can tell from this movie, he was a homosexual, and British law was extremely harsh toward male homosexuals. That makes no sense at all. Soviet law was also extremely repressive against homosexuals in those days. No one would have chosen the Soviet Union because they thought it was more hospitable for gays. Since Guy Burgess was a real person and this film is based on his life, he must have had some other reason for becoming a communist (he wasn't one in his school days) that has nothing to do with his sexual orientation. What was it? The movie doesn't tell us.
