Description:
Honor. Duty. Respect. These three military traditions are in jeopardy at a British regiment stationed in colonial India at the end of the nineteenth century. A new recruit is charged with dishonorable conduct when a beautiful widow (Academy Award nominee Susannah York) is attacked. In an attempt to prevent a public court-martial, the superior officers (Academy Award winner Richard Attenborough, Stacy Keach, and Christopher Plummer) set up an internal hearing. It is up to an idealistic young officer (Michael York) to defend the accused attacker (James Faulkner). Conduct Unbecoming boasts a stellar cast in an epic historical drama which will keep you in suspense until the shocking climax.

Rating: - "Conduct Unbecoming" is very becoming
Conduct Unbecoming
This mystery that takes on all the suspense of a courtroom drama keeps you interested to the very last moment. I have watched it numerous times with delight. The director and cast have delivered to the world a screen gem that will remain a classic for years to come. Michael York's audio commentary--a special feature on the DVD--invites the viewer into the mind of one of the world's finest stars of stage and screen. If you haven't seen it, treat yourself to fine entertainment ... Read More
Rating:  - A matter of honor
Despite the boast of being 'filmed in location on the NorthWest Frontier and in Pakistan,' it's painfully obvious that none of the cast of Conduct Unbecoming ever got nearer to the NorthWest Frontier than the Shepperton Taste of Moghul Tandoori restaurant during their lunch break, with location filming clearly being limited to the director and a second unit shooting a few stock shots of cavalry and trains. With most of the money going on the impressive cast (Richard Attenborough, Christopher Plummer, ... Read More
Rating:  - Splendid Look at the Old Raj!
This is a wonderful period piece. What makes this movie exceptional is the splendid depiction of regimental life in Old Raj India. The 20th Indian Light Horse, a lance armed unit as shown in the film was typical of the old Indian army created by the British. The unit is portrayed in the film by the Presidential Guard of Pakistan who seem to maintain the old traditions of the past.
The beginning of the film shows a musical ride with the cavalry perfroming a unique dressage display highlighting ... Read More
Rating: - hard to comprehend in 2006
Honor, loyalty, comradship and most of all the Regiment. Concepts difficult to relate to in the 21st century. Are they really relative? This question I really can't answer, but it is eminently worth pondering. This movie and its stage play predecessor pose those questions. One must understand the attitude of people living in a foreign country, the change this makes on their attitudes, combine this with being an infallible being in that country, add strong tradition to the mix and you have the crux of this extremely ...

Rating: - Love the Concept of Honor Portrayed Here
This film has the greatest line I've heard about honor. When asked by a superior officer, "Do you place your own honor above that of the regiment's," the principled young officer responds, "No, Sir. They must be one."
Yep, that's it alright.
