Conduct Unbecoming is a 1975 British period legal drama film directed by Michael Anderson and adapted by Robert Enders from Barry England's play of the same name.

Set in a British Indian Army barracks in the late 19th-century, the film centers on an impromptu court-martial following the assault of an officer's widow.

Second Lieutenant Edward Millington, son of a general, confides to Drake that he intends to fail his 3-month probationary period; he deliberately antagonizes his fellow officers.

Captain Scarlett's medal, along with his bloody and tattered uniform, hang prominently in a glass case as a testament to his brutal death at the hands of tribesmen.

Though pressured by his superior officer to plead Millington guilty and close the case quickly, Drake insists on giving the defendant a fair trial.

She admits it was not Millington who attacked her but will not say who did, saying the regiment are all “cruel men who treat women and pigs alike.” Wimbourne knows who the culprit is but refuses to identify him.

Millington, now proved innocent, is embraced by his brother officers and now willingly fits in; Drake, disgusted by the truth he's uncovered, resigns.

"[2] Deeley hired Michael Anderson to direct, in part because he was efficient, and the film was shot at Shepperton Studios over four weeks starting mid November 1974.
