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.
Principal photography on The Queen's Guards began several months after the release of Powell's Peeping Tom, the outcry over which 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."
