Sword of Honour

2001, English, on Channel 4. Created by Evelyn Waugh.

Love destroyed. War restored.

Sword of Honour is a two-part adaptation of Evelyn Waugh’s semi-autobiographical World War II trilogy, initially aired Channel 4 on 2 January 2001. Guy Crouchback embarks on a heroic quest to regain his honour and manhood; however, his encounters with the absurd reality of life in the British Army — strewn with bureaucratic blunders, military debacles, and indelibly eccentric characters — proves to be more of a challenge than facing the enemy itself.
