Maj. Gen. Sir John Sangye (Lionel Atwill) is a decorated British Army veteran serving in a West African outpost. Fifteen years ago, in Ireland, he murdered a fellow officer out of romantic jealousy, yet pinned the blame on Irish Republican rebels. He got away with it at the time, but now a doctor who knows of his hidden past arrives at his new outpost. Old secrets may come back to ruin the major general's reputation – and the honor of his daughter (Kathleen Gibson).


Based upon a novel by Lewis Robinson, who assists with the script, HIGH COMMAND gives us a complex tale of blackmail, murder, and other delights, ranging over two continents and two generations, beginning in 1921 Ireland and concluding in West Africa (most of the film was shot in Nigeria and Gold Coast). General Sir John Sangye (Lionel Atwill), holder of the Victoria Cross and commander of a colonial garrison, in order to help protect his daughter Belinda (Kathleen Gibson) from unsavoury scandal, is forced into making several wrenching decisions, with Atwill giving the finest crafted performance of his career. In his first effort at directing a feature film, Thorold Dickinson displays the fluid work with a camera which marks his distinguished career, and has expertly taken a balance of drama and humour from the script while effectively leading his talented cast into strong performances, notably from Steven Geray, Leslie Perrins, James Mason and Lucie Mannheim. Dickinson, along with cinematographer Otto Heller, benefit from their background in silent cinema, and Ernest Irving's score is adroitly woven into the action, all of which assists in effectuating a masterwork.
