The High Command is a 1937 British drama film directed by Thorold Dickinson and starring Lionel Atwill, Lucie Mannheim and James Mason.
This is the tale of an English officer who murders a man in Ireland for chivalrous reasons.
[2] The Sunday Times wrote of this film: "Its avoidance of reality and its slowness make it a first-class soporific in this sultry weather.
[2] Greene also pointed out that Fanfare was a newly emerging British film company that was constrained by its budget, and that it still managed to use "lyric imagination" to produce memorable scenes well designed to portray the degree of "human crisis" especially at the climax when the General's secret is revealed.
Greene described the "glib" review from The Sunday Times as "rather shocking" in light of the production's efforts with their financial limitations.
