MAN IN THE MIDDLE is an interesting more than entertaining legal drama that offers a leading role for permanently weary-looking Robert Mitchum. He plays an army officer who's called in to defend an American soldier in Burma who cold-bloodedly executed a British ally. The reasons behind this surprising behaviour come apparent in one shocking interrogation sequence. Otherwise, this is a rather sedately-paced character drama, looking at relationships and politics rather than the usual wartime exploits. A decent cast work hard to bring the material to life.
