KlNG AND COUNTRY is a 1964 uncompromising WW1 drama, directed by Joseph Losey, featuring outstanding performances from Tom Courtenay (who won the 1964 Venice FiIm Festival Award for Best Actor) and Dirk Bogarde. During WorId War I, a young soldier, Hamp (Tom Courtenay) deserts his post, attempting to escape the ever-present sound of guns and walk back home. Captain Hargreaves (Dirk Bogarde) an aristocratic and British Army Iawyer must defend Hamp before the army tribunal, for whom the crime of desertion carries a nasty stigma and the penalty of execution. InitiaIly, Hargreaves approaches Hamp's case with disdain; however, upon Iearning that Hamp volunteered for duty on a dare, that he is the sole survivor of his unit and that his wife has been unfaithfuI in his absence, his efforts on Hamp's behalf become more impassioned and earnest.
