Windom's Way (1957)
Director: Ronald Neame
Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Colonial drama in which a caring medic, Alec Windom (Finch), is sent to Malaya where he intervenes in local affairs and encourages the villagers to resist the Communist takeover of the newly independent territory. Decent performances and a genuine sense of concern throughout; scripted by Jill Craigie (Mrs Michael Foot) from a novel by James Ramsay Ullman.Author: TJ
