Anecdotes
The VC worn by David Niven was a genuine medal borrowed by the studio. It belonged to Arthur Henry Cross VC, Machine Gun Corps (Camberwell).

Gaffes
A British court-martial appeal does not allow new evidence, as it is not a retrial of a case, but a trial of the trial itself, to argue improper procedure or other problems with the trial.

The Copper Key

Nearly a decade after 'A Matter of Life and Death' David Niven once more finds himself on trial - this time conducting his own defence - in this very respectable addition to the rollcall of theatrical adaptations directed by Anthony Asquith, although Niven himself neglects to mention in his memoirs.

In 'The Winslow Boy' the accused was charged with purloining a postal order, this time the bone of contention is £125 missing from a safe. Aside from the quality of the acting Asquith makes good use of acoustics by making the soundtrack totally devoid of music and the comic effect when Geoffrey Keen tells the court orderly to stop stamping in observance of an enormous sign reading 'Silence Court-Martial in Progress'.
