Aroview: A taut WW2 drama, based on a stageplay, set around a dysfunctional British patrol caught out behind enemy lines in Burma.

Hinging on the treatment and fate of a captured Japanese soldier, this examines the no-win moral corruption of wartime, with a particularly memorable performance from Laurence Harvey as a troublesome cockney.
