The Queen's Guards is a 1961 British military drama film directed by Michael Powell from a script by Simon Harcourt-Smith and Roger Milner. It stars Daniel Massey, Raymond Massey, Robert Stephens, and Ursula Jeans.[2]
Principal photography on The Queen's Guards began several months after the release of Powell's Peeping Tom, the outcry over which[3] eventually ensured that The Queen's Guards would be Powell's last feature film directed in Britain.
Powell later called the film "the most inept piece of filmmaking that I have ever produced or directed. I didn't write the story (weak) or the screenplay (abysmal) but I take all the flak."[4]
