Tunes of Glory

1960 1hr 46min


A little of both.

This 1960's movie was pretty well written and filmed.  The acting at times was a little overly dramatic, but the piping was good and the pipers were actually pipers! 

This was on the DVD sleeve:

Lt. Col. Jock Sinclair (Alec Guinness) briefly takes over control of a brigade until the new man for the job, Col. Basil Barow (John Mills), becomes available.  When the elitist and aristocratic Barrow takes over, he's instantly displeased with his lower-class predecessor.  The conflict between the two men jeopardizes the harmony of the company and escalates after Sinclair roughs up a solider he finds with his daughter.
