Much too quiet and low-key drama of the intrigues at a British shooting party circa 1910s. Lack of compelling incident and insight is almost balanced by typically solid performances from Mason and Gielgud; draws a long bow in comparing the casual brutality of the hunters with the pointlessness of WWI. Not a bad film per se, but a very uninspiring one.
