Not a promotional film edit
The makers of the film may well have had "access to the Guards barracks and to their training areas on Salisbury Plain". But that does not mean that there was any "intention of this film appears to have been to promote the Guards regiment in some way".
"Sequences of real guardsmen at the Trooping of the Colour" are in the public domain,
The production, "especially the plot, is very scrappy with many details left unexplained", but that is an entirely different matter.101.98.175.68 (talk) 07:48, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
- Some sequences of real guardsmen at the Trooping of the Colour are in the public domain, but the sequences used in this film needed special permission to film close-up and travelling shots along the massed ranks. Have you seen the film? (Not many have). Have you read Powell's autobiography where he talks about it? -- SteveCrook (talk) 08:25, 5 April 2014 (UTC)
