Certain parallels are commonplace in reflections of the time and trouble taken to get this DVD online and to find a Tesco
Shop that had the offer as stated in the The Sunday Mail. So I arrived back hot footed clutching my DVD, and spent an enjoyable afternoon watching this story of the War retold by screenwriter and
Award Winning Novelist William Boyd. Its is based on the trilogy written by Evelyn Waugh.
The story is about the British Army and its troubles during World War II to include the bombing of London and death of close family friends of the central character Guy
Crouchback - Guy Crouchback is a Roman Catholic and apart from the central theme of War .. the echoes are there of
divorce, anti abortion and the Roman Catholic Point of view in relation to these moral issues played out through the words of Guy Crouchback.
Guy Crouchback is engaged in a moral quest to reclaim his manhood after a shattering divorce from a Society Beauty/Virginia Troy .... his personal life is set against a background of life in the British Army which he joins juxtaposed with the notion of blunders, military debacles and funny outpourings in spite of the War!
The film "Sword of Honour" is a Talkback Production for Channel 4 in 2001 .... I had just returned from working full time in Istanbul ... it was to be my last job there .............nice work!
