在这部文斯洛男孩剧情/爱情片中,英国富豪温斯洛家族的13岁幼子,被怀疑偷窃5先令的邮资而遭到退学的命运,在极具声望的父亲、倡导人权的姐姐和一位具社会影响力的律师多方奔走下,他们不惧偏激的舆论攻讦,能否洗刷家耻呢?
Early 20th century England: while toasting his daughter Catherine's engagement, Arthur Winslow learns the royal naval academy expelled his 14-year-old son, Ronnie, for stealing five shillings. Father asks son if it is true; when the lad denies it, Arthur risks fortune, health, domestic peace, and Catherine's prospects to pursue justice. After defeat in the military court of appeals, Arthur and Catherine go to Sir Robert Morton, a brilliant, cool barrister and M.P., who examines Ronnie and suggests that they take the matter before Parliament to seek permission to sue the Crown. They do, which keeps Ronnie's story on the front page and keeps Catherine in Sir Robert's ken.
刻板的幽默。
