Watches
- Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso
- Worn by John Mills as Commandant Fraser. Montres de Luxe identifies Commandant's watch as a Jaeger-LeCoultre Reverso; the source describes the actor fidgeting with it on screen until a fellow officer tells him to stop. (Montres de Luxe) The film supplies a close-up of the rectangular watch during Fraser's fidgeting, giving a clear view of the dark numeral dial and bright stepped case on its leather strap. It therefore connects the Reverso to an observable bit of character business, rather than only to a wrist in a publicity portrait. (scene image)
