Windom's Way

Windom's Way is a 1957 British thriller film directed by Ronald Neame and starring Peter Finch and Mary Ure.

Dr Alec Windom is a British doctor who works in a village in Malaya.

The film was based on a 1952 novel by James Ramsey Ullman, which was reportedly inspired by Dr. Gordon S. Seagrave, who was imprisoned for allegedly helping the Karen people.

Perry's draft was considered too "political" and was rewritten by Jill Craigie to be softened.

However, the resulting work was considerably more left-wing than Rank's other colonial war films of this time such as The Planter's Wife and Simba.

He was contacted by his old producing partner John Bryan who suggested Neame make Windom's Way with Peter Finch.
