Tunes of Glory***
GB 1960. United Artists/Knightsbridge. 107m.
The popular Colonel of a Scottish Highland Army Barracks clashes with his ruthless but slightly vulnerable successor.
A film that doesn't get shown on TV as much as it should - watched on DVD in this case - but well worth catching for two brilliant star performances that create a marvellous brooding power (in evocative surroundings), backed up by an excellent supporting cast.
Written by: James Kennaway, from his novel.
Producer: Colin Lesslie.
Director: Ronald Neame.
Starring: Alec Guinness, John Mills, Gordon Jackson, Dennis Price, Susannah York, Kay Walsh, John Fraser, Duncan MacRae, Percy Herbert, Richard Leech, Gerald Harper, Allan Cuthbertson, Fulton Mackay, Angus Lennie.
Photography: Arthur Ibbetson.
Music: Malcolm Arnold.
