Teatro filmado al estilo inglés: una mujer, esposa de un oficial colonial, es violada. La película sigue luego las alternativas del juicio de su atacante. 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.
