I served as a Canadian para , this movie is absolutely first class. I remember as a young NCO the CSM came into the mess one night and put the movie on sat down had a scotch and yelled sit down shut up and watch
Really? @folkerwolf
A brilliant film. It works on so many levels - the individual characters within an overarching rigid, hierarchical society. Class, tradition, change.A heady mix. Alec Guinness is superb as the rigid, rather brittle, old war horse promoted from the ranks yet possessing insight and compassion. A very subtle character. Guinness’ nuanced performance is possibly one of his career highlights (and that is saying a lot). For those who say that nothing much happens, yes there is no physical action but plenty of psychological drama which must be much harder to dramatise successfully.

Well said Father G.!
Well said indeed!
Fantastic film, well acted. John Mills gets the vulnerability of Barrow right - a man who has been through more than any of them but is embarrassed to compare his ordeal to their combat experience. Alec Guinness, for his part, gets the easy camaraderie that comes with men who have led their battalion into battle - whose men love and respect him for getting them back safely but who is then passed over by a peacetime army all too quick to see a return to the status quo ante. Just a brilliant film.
Great comment.

There's a lot to unpack from this film. From PTSD and the lack of recognition and subsequent treatment, to man's utter contempt for man. This movie really has me thinking. A truly amazing work.
I do see a communist bias in the writing. That wasn't "us."
Two heavyweights in Guinness and Mills, who deliver monumental performances. Top notch supporting cast as well.
Yes. Gordon Jackson for example.
The irony is that both Sinclair & Barrow are probably suffering from PTSD - their wartime service plus Barrow's experience as a Japanese POW. Both actually crack under the terrible pressure: Barrow's suicide seems to trigger Sinclair, by the end.
This Movie is a forgotten gem. Alec Guinness is at the top of his game in this very British movie about a Scottish Regiment after WW2. Excellent supporting cast rises to Guinness’s level fleshing out the supporting characters with the aid of a very well written script.
John Mills simply terrific here !! Oscar worthy stuff !
No-one could do 'cold', sarcastic characters like Dennis Price: he was the best choice for playing Scott.
Alec Guiness is outstanding, not because of the part he was given, but in the way he portrayed the part.
@@flashgordon6670 Not at all!
How many ways are there?
Guinness AND Mills! The story is perfect. Col. Barrow's last assignment before retirement, his dream command, and....
Well, no use in spoiling it.
It would be nice if he tried a bit harder with his mock Scottish accent. It sounds like it is - a grown man putting on a silly voice.
@@ruadhagainagaidheal9398 Possibly, but not a bad job at all.
What an Actor Guiness was, a true chameleon blessed with gravitas and grace.
He certainly was
no CGI special effects expensive locations, just dam good acting, british films at there best,
The great John Mills, Alec Guiness and Gordon Jackson....such a great little film.
Probably the best movie ever made about life - at least for officers - within a British regiment. Many times popular commanding officers have been replaced by unpopular ones. This drama , with a magnificent cast led by Guinness and Mills at their best, examines the frictions that result and affect the esprit de corps of everyone.
I think I've watched this film once every decade - that's at least six times. Each time I think I see into it with greater depth and understanding. I have read that there was some sharp criticism of the final scene where Lt. Colonel Sinclair breaks down in tears, "I'm fashed ... take me home, my babies." I think those critics missed a point made by at least one other commentator here; most of the battalion have seen brutal action in two theaters of WWII. In 1948, so many of them would have been very disturbed and traumatized - PTSD. James Kennaway, the writer of the both the novel and the screenplay, was a Highland military man himself; he would have understood this. Crisp direction, excellent writing, as well as superlative acting by every person in the cast makes this 1956 production a standout member of a classic canon.
I'm a yank and I have been watching British films since I was four in 1953. This is my favorite. I also enjoyed The Maggie, Tiger Bay, The Circus of Horrors, and all of the Sherlock Holmes films with Basil Rargbone ( Rasil Bathbone?) And Nigel Bruce. American films are mostly flash without fire although there are a few good ones.
@@mikekaup5252Basil Rathbone...😊
At 1:38:15 Major Sinclair (Alec Guinness) takes responsibility for frustrating Lieutenant Colonel Barrow to the point of suicide. Then he begins to change in his composure. He begins to hear bagpipes playing tunes which only he and we the audience can hear. This is good drama. But it highlights a certain power of the bagpipe. In the mid 1990s I took my family to the South Florida Scottish Festival in Hollywood, Florida. What an exciting day watching the pipe and drum teams march and show what they could do. The food was great. We came home exhausted and got the kids in bed. My three-year old daughter said, "Mom, I can still hear the bagpipes." My wife paused and said, "Yes, I can hear them too." And I paused for a minute and could also hear them playing in my ears. The rocking of a ship stays with you after you go ashore. And bagpipes still play though only you can hear them.
Sounds like you're having a crackup.
Yes, true, its a haunting sound.
Alec Guinness absolutely knocked it out of the park in this role. One of his best roles and definitely worth the watch. I watch this film several times when they showed it on the weekends on OTA broadcasts.
For those of you younger lads, I have several times seen this film. However astute are the critiques of preference for brogue more proper for the highlands, the purpose to be served here is more to a Shakespearean tragedy. The very end most tells the tale. In guilt it is not only the one to be buried who has died. The parts were played well enough, though accents failing, battles whose noises were gone still pressed their pains. My Babies. My Babies. You will watch this again fully through. And that is an Order. And for you who questioned the age appearances, my Sergeant Major, who delighted in telling me jokes, he appeared to be of this age. And as to the salutes at the departure, the salutes were not haphazardly, but according to regulations. The Major, uncovered would not salute. And of the various groups only the senior ranking man will salute. I say this to answer the curiosity of any non military.
Sad that so many today do not GET that service in the military is not work in an office. This is a drama about MEN who fought together and saw their comrades die. Transitioning to barracks life and a new Colonel is never easy, but for a unit that was together from '39-'45 in the thick of it......
Those who’ve served in any military branch of the British or Commonwealth arms will appreciate the texture of this fine movie. Terrific acting all around.
Except for the fake Scottish accents. The UK has no shortage of real Scots actors with authentic Scots accents.
@@10_rds_Fire_For_Effect I COULD NOT SPOT the fake accents😅😅😅

Only if they served 70 or 80 years ago - desperately dated and even worse stereotyped.
@@John-GLife has changed very much from the era when this film was made, just like it does over time. So we can say that all historical films are stereo types. The same will be said in about thirty years about our time now.
Now _that_ was a bloody good film. Must make today's producers and directors puke with shame at the crap they now offer us.
Yeeeeow, I was surprised by how quickly this movie grabbed me! It's a must-watch Alec Guinness performance. Gripping!
An excellent script, sets, costumes, actors and Alec Guinness giving one of the performances of his illustrious career. Bravo.
Brilliant, how Guiness and Mills played off each other. Jackson and Cuthbertson were as convincing as they in any role. Thoroughly enjoyed this.
Thank you, DDF.
[spoiler allert] 1:43:26 Hearing Major Sinclair crying "oh my babies" reveals much about his character and his meltdown. He was the commanding officer during the war. In this one funeral he revisits the burrials of all his fallen soldiers, his babies. The guilt of their deaths is the wound war has given him, the wound he's been trying to patch-up with jokes and alcohol.
Thank you for your so perceptive insight. It's called PTSD today. 👍
Awesome Scottish Regiment movie. Brought me to tears at the end. God Bless Scotland. Robert. 83yo. Veteran Infantry Soldier. (Of Scottish Heritage) 1RNZIR. New Zealand.
Great movie, splendid acting. Any one that served in the military will surely embrace this movie. It’s us.
i always thought this was maybe the best acting work Alec Guiness ever did....its tough to be both unlikeable and sympathetic at the same time....this movie is the obverse of Bridge on the River Kwai.....british empire military movies when they are done sincerely are the best in the world
Tinker Taylor was superb too.
Poor old Shoey McFee. Machine gunned on the wire in The Great Escape and scalding hot tea poured over him in this.
He suffered far worse at the hands of The MEG Mortimer.
What a wonderful film! Sir Alex was absolutely brilliant in this role. Hip, Hip Hurrah to the rest of the cast.
Sir Alec Guinness best performance especially the ending when he names the tunes of glory and they play as he thinks of them.
This could be my favorite film of all time. Cast and performances outstanding. Emotional roller coaster with a pay off in the final couple of scenes that’s hard to match.
Superb psychological drama, wayyy ahead of its time
What a masterpiece. Completely engrossing.
lAlec Guiness is outstanding in all parts he did
To all of you enjoyed this film, I'd recommend another British army film 'The Hill"
Awesome movie. Terrific performances. Yanks could never have made this. They have never had an Alec Guinness or a John Millis.
Top notch. The Brit's sure knew how to make a movie.
Sir Alec appears in this film as magnificently as the colonel in the film River Kwai. Sir Alec had a unique ability to portray very different personalities.
I just watched Damn the Defiant, free on youtube - AMAZING film better than Master and Commander
Its called "acting". It seems to be something now largely forgotten as generic people portray other generic people in modern films.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684also, dialogue is always spot on, and there are no 'throw-away' scenes that litter today's films. Every scene keeps the plot and character building moving.
@@jeffercinadams9026 Just finished watching it Jeff, and what an absolute little BELTER of a film. Seriously cannot believe I've never come across it before in my near 60 years. As you suggest, lean, tight with not an ounce of flab on it. Good God, how screenwriting has fallen since.
Don't forget, George Smiley
I've seen this film many times over the past 50 years. All the ribbons are correct and I can't help but feel that Barrow had PTSD as well as some of the others.
I had never thought of that before, but you are absolutely right. People are seen dealing with their PTSD in different ways - hiding behind a stiff upper lip, exaggerated formality, bravado, forced bonhomie etc. a truly fascinating film.
Totally correct
@@stephenroberts9913
Barrows has textbook cptsd with dissociative disorder.
The dissociative portion you see at the dance, and he seems to be aware it happens because he apologizes at the end. The second time would be at the end.
Pretty crazy since the definition was not written till 50 years after this was filmed.
I believe John Mills said this was his favourite film role.
And indeed, IIRC, Alfred Hitchcock said this was the best film he had ever seen, so far.
I do so love the Scots accent and spoken manner as of the time of this film depicts. Great film. Watched several times and will no doubt do so many more times.
A strong cast. Nice to see Angus Lennie and Gordon Jackson who both starred in The Great Escape.
I just started watching this. I see the actors in it. I see Alec Guinness and others. Color me convinced! This is going to be a great film. **I just ended watching this. Stunning performances all the way around. Alec Guinness had me mesmerized and then in tears.
This was a movie we watched at the Regiment as a part of officer training on ethics when I was in the Army. There are so many flawed thought processes about honour and loyalty in the movie.
This of course was just post WW2 hence POW camps were fresh in their memories . A different generation .
The Colonel suffering from PTSD after the war and time in a prisoner of war camp, it was not recognised in those days.
My own father served 6 years in the RN during WW2. Saw the Bismarck reduced to flaming wreckage... survived the dive bombing and sinking of his own ship a year later in the Indian Ocean, and clung to wreckage for 2 days before a miraculous rescue... 400 of his ship mates weren't so fortunate... Narrowly avoided death when HMS Warspite was hit by "Fritz X" bombs at Salerno in 1943. Then in early 1946 he was thrown a "demob suit" and literally told to "fuck off home".
Like hundreds of thousands of others he suffered in silence with the PTSD you mentioned... but we didn't know the cause of his terrible mood swings, and occasional bouts of crying that he struggled to hide. He was hard to live with at times, but it was hard because of our ignorance of his experiences. He began to talk in the years before his death in 2013.
The greatest warriors on Earth have spoken. Just the drums.
Dennis Price is brilliant as Maj Scott
My feeling exactly. A man who could stand against the flow.
A spotter notes that at 23:15, Sinclair is a Lt. Colonel; at 23:49 he's reverted to Major. Barrow meant business there. Old squaddies will remember the Scottish Highland Brigade. They probably know the types, and the scenario of an upstart trying to take over. Neither Sinclair nor Barrow did themselves any favours in this one, and it would all have been considered undignified and disruptive. However, war does funny things to people, and James Kennaway's novel was written in 1956. The makers knew what they were about with this film.
Sinclair was only acting. Col Barrow had nothing to do with it.
Sinclair would have reverted to Major as soon at Barrow was made CO, it would have been published in the same orders.
If I'm not mistaken acting rank does not even get paid for the position.
Sinclair was a "brevet" (temporary) Lt Col... field promoted after the death in action of the previous battalion commander in North Africa in 1942, and did such a good job for the rest of WW2 that he retained command but was never made substantive (permanent), probably not helped by his lowly beginnings and a spell in Barlinnie.
Peace arrived in Britain after WW2 and the army decide that a peacetime Colonel was required to reinstill some discipline into the "old sweats" of the battalion, hence Sinclair is bumped back down to Major.
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 I stand by my original comments.
I accept the book my differ but we are not talking about that.

One of the most powerful films ever made

It's Alec.
Excellent film - Guinness was outstanding!
A true gem. Some amazing performances.
Arguably the finest British film ever made.
Definitely not arguably the finest British film ever made. There are far better films covering the military.
Tunes of Glory is a good film . My father served in the HLI, Highland Light Infantry, and , at one time served in Edinburgh Castle. He found this film very theatrical and not true to the ‘spirit’ of the Officer corp.

Susannah York's film debut.
I was a civil servant and worked for 30 years with 99.9% all male coworkers, bosses, underlings.
This movie "gets" men.....their pride, jealousies, group dynamics. It's a great movie, though my only complaint is the ending. It's a bit over the top, but I recommend this movie to all my old companions and the keen ones understand.
30 years as an operational "fire bobby" and I COMPLETELY agree with your assessment as to all male group dynamics.
I spent two years in my early 20s on a watch where as well as plenty of light hearted moments, a "cabal" or clique of "powerful characters" (aka bullies), effectively ran the watch. Myself and one or two others didn't always "follow the party line" unquestioningly, I'm 6ft 2in and 220lbs, so I wasn't intimidated, but even so over time a "siege mentality" developed, with some "fence sitting" watch members who would privately support the "independent minded ones", but were morally too weak to stand up and be counted, as well as the devious ones who would attempt to "share a confidence" while eager to betray the same confidence for their own purposes, and some REALLY ugly situations occured because of weak leadership. Really quite incredible some of the incidents when I think back, for instance two watch members having a full on "slanging match" in front of the rest of the watch and the "cabal" member suddenly doing a full throated spit into the other man's face. The one on the receiving end turned & walked into the office and made an assault allegation, but incredibly after a long story it was all brushed under the carpet !!! I wasn't there when it happened (I was on leave) but I would have thrown my full weight behind the allegation if I had been.
My best memory from those years was a new "Officer in charge" on his first morning detailing the duties for the day, and being told by the "ringleader" that "that wasn't how we do things here"..... The new OIC walked upto him and put his face in the ringleader's and said "don't EVER tell me how to run my f@cking watch, ok?" The sad part was while he made their lives a bit less comfortable for a while, they collectively broke him in less than a year.... He got posted, and I followed shortly afterwards. But as with all workgroups the cabal dissolved over time due to postings, retirement and promotion. I saw many of them at funerals over the years, with each and every one of them looking more and more vulnerable and diminshed as the years drew on. Most of them are dead now, and good riddance to em.
The ringleader on that fire brigade "watch" all them years back even had Alec Guiness-like ginger hair!!! So this great film REALLY invoked the atmosphere back in that situation, conveying the latent menace of "the group".
@@walterkronkitesleftshoe6684 Ha ha. I was a fireman in NY (not in NYC) for 30 years. I think we would have much to talk about over a few beers.

Absolutely brilliant to watch a proper British film with real British actor’s. Rule Britannia.
Splendid in all respects with stellar performances . Strongly recommended just to observe basic human passions and emotions setting aside generations of regimental drill and tradition .
It would have been splendid in all respects if it wasn't ruined by having to listen to awful fake Scottish accents. A British made movie could easily have found good Scottish actors.
I used to love this film. Haven’t seen it for years. Thank you for uploading.
That was a beautiful movie! Thank you so much.
They’re clearly all suffering PTSD post-war.
Gordon Jackson in a supporting role as well as Alec Guinness (Sir). One of the reasons the acting is of such a high military standard is because most of the Actors served in the Military either before, during or after the war.
I remember that Richard Todd, not in this film, said in an interview once that the reason the 40s/50s British war films looked so realistic was that ‘we all knew how to wear uniform’.
a well written script well acted and well directed

Very similar to 12 O'clock High. Over identification with the troops versus pride through discipline.

Great actors, great story and a hell of a movie 🎥
Great Movie, Challenging script and subject with EXCELLENT acting. Top Notch!
No special effects just great acting 👏
The falling snow was a special effect.
A sad great movie and a great performance by all.
Check out 'Guns at Batasi' with Richard Attenborough, for a similar and equally well-done movie!
I really loved "Tunes of Glory" - I thought it was magnificent. But I was pleasantly surprised to see someone mention "Guns of Batasi" (with Richard Attenborough). I always thought, too - that it was equally amazing. It was so typically British - with Dickie Attenborough being of the "old school" and considered by his men as somewhat of a bore. Yet - when the company was so in need of someone with real guts and devotion, he proved his instinctive leadership abilities, despite being eventually used as a scapegoat. Two exceptional movies, for sure.
the salutes are so well executed !
And they didn't salute bare headed which they never do in the British Army because it wouldn't make any sense. So many TV shows get that wrong.
In the US Navy we do not salute indoors at all. We also do not wear hats indoors.
This is a superb movie, very authentic and with top performances by the best actors of the time.
What a brilliant film, I remember watching this a good few years ago. It doesn’t disappoint.
Easy not to be disappointed if you've never heard a genuine Scots accent before in your life. They sounded pretty damn aweful.
Excellent film,with some stellar british performers back in the day.Also helps having the great Alec Guiness in the lead role ( my all time fave actor).
Heartbreaking, till we all muster for the last time lads , rip heroes all
I like the theatricality of this film...it is like a stage play, the acting style is very much from 1960, it has a certain tone to it that is not quite real, but it is interesting and entertaining to watch, modern audiences probably won't get this film at all to be honest, it is so far removed from the present day language of film making. A note on the visuals and setting, the opening scene with the titles has Susannah York's character walking towards the entrance of a castle.....the location is Stirling Castle in Scotland, as she enters the gates the location switches to the backlot at Shepperton Studios near London and indeed the rest of the film is shot on sound stages and on a full size outdoor set of the castle parade ground and associated buildings at Shepperton, the town where they go to the pub is Windsor near London as is the exterior of the Theatre where Jock goes to meet his mistress. One more real Scottish location at the very end of the film when Jock's jeep exits the Portcullis of Stirling castle and drives down the hill.....from a production design point of view it is quite an impressive representation of a military barracks set in a Scottish Castle wholly created at a film studio near London.
The producers weren't allowed to film at Edinburgh Castle.
@@None-zc5vg the story is not set in Edinburgh Castle, and the producers made no requests or plans to film there, their plan was to film at Stirling Castle but that request was denied to them by the Colonel In Chief of the regiment there. Some brief exterior shots of Stirling Castle appear in the film , at the beginning and at the end, but as I already mentioned the movie was mainly shot on a full size back lot set and that set is based on the architectural features and layout of Stirling Castle...not Edinburgh Castle. It is never mentioned in the film what the name of the castle is, but it is clearly modelled on Stirling Castle which was the home of "The Argyll And Sutherland Highlanders" regiment, and the film alludes to that being the regiment that the characters belong to.
Excellent comments and I agree with you completely. Thank you Sir.
What an amazing film. Why don’t they make powerful drama hellolike this anymore?
Because every movie they make today has to be ethnically diverse, where they put a woman in it and make her gay and lame.
As mccoobs stated so eloquently, but as a brilliant and unique dramatist-scriptwriter myself, it's hard enough dodging the "Weinsteins" in the business, and the academic plagiarists, but original writers with life experience are up against what late actor hubs used to call the "MFA Yalies..." mollycoddled relatives of "industry" people whose life experience is spent in front of the TV, now watching rehash after rehash and being recruited after graduating, recruited to rehash tired old plots but with escalating violence and perverse sexuality. Meanwhile my genius scripts are piling up. Just call me "The Great Posthumous!" There are two great works of literature by two male other writers that may never see the light of day. That's how sick the industry has become.
Triple fantastic classic, 5 *!
Great movie! Barrow wants to instill some discipline so he makes the rules but does nothing when the rules are broken. Finally Jock goes too far and he has to do something or he will look weak to his men. Then he realizes the price is too high and backs down. Then Charlie, who Barrow doesn't know is a rival of Jock, tells him how weak he is. Then he has to hear Jock gloat about it. This is the reason why the old commander never stays on when he is replaced.
Gotta say: I'm only a minute and a half in, and I love this movie!

I'm basically Irish with a touch of German and I don't feel much affinity with Scottish people. But that was a great movie. A damn great movie.
If you are " partly" Irish, I suggest you look at Irish/Scottish history. Especially in Argyle..
Which German touched you?
You sound like a Glasgow Celtic supporter.
After finding out that Guiness and Mills apparently 'tossed' for the 2 lead roles, I think it is as well that Guiness got the brash, loud, hard drinking role. I do not think that Mills could have pulled that one off?
British viewers may recognise the actor appearing as the guard sergeant 8:54 to 9:04 - he had been in the Black Watch WW2 - but in his most remembered future personna he played a character who had served in the Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders.
Yes, a nice wee cameo from Fulton Mackay
I recognised who it was before he even turned around, solely by his bearing and salute.
