The Four Feathers (1939)

Description from Wikipedia: The Four Feathers is set in the 1895 during the reign of Queen Victoria. The North Surrey Regiment of the British Army is called to active service to join the army of Sir Herbert Kitchener in the Mahdist War against the forces of The Khalifa. Forced into an army career by family tradition, Lieutenant Harry Faversham resigns his commission on the eve of its departure. As a result, his three friends and fellow officers, Captain John Durrance and Lieutenants Burroughs and Willoughby, show their contempt of his perceived cowardice by each sending him a white feather attached to a calling card. When his fiancée, Ethne Burroughs, says nothing in his defence, he bitterly demands a fourth from her. She refuses, but he plucks one from her fan. Harry confides that he is indeed a coward and must make amends. He then departs for Egypt. John Clements as Harry Faversham Ralph Richardson as Captain John Durrance C.
