> I've never heard of "The Winslow Affair", but there was a truly classic British film from 1948 called "The Winslow Boy" which I recently bought on DVD. It stars Robert Donat and Cedric Hardwicke. The story is by Terrence Rattigan about a young naval cadet who is accused of stealing a five shillingpostal order. His father (Hardwicke) fights to clear his son's name. It's one of the best British films I've ever seen.
