During World War II, as Second-in-Command, he was made acting Commanding Officer. Now the regiment has returned to Scotland, and a new commanding officer is to be appointed. Jock's own cleverness is pitted against his new C.O., his daughter, his girlfriend, and the other officers in the Mess. Reviews: One of the most absorbing and powerful films I’ve ever seen. Perfectly nails the feeling of playing the outcast charged (at least in your own mind) with unpleasant duties, and being viscerally aware that you’ve lost your peers and are powerless to win them back even as you fruitlessly try. Charisma is a divine gift, and ultimately some people have it and some people don’t. I loved the sheer pathos of Barrow being a former Japanese POW, and a legitimately impressive guy, whose personal life was a shambles and who was manifestly unable to command even token loyalty from most of his officers. Astonishing work, deserves far more than the semi-obscurity into which it’s fallen. And the wintry Highland setting is the cherry on top. - written by "Luke Nicastro" on IMDb.com Also Known As (AKA): (original title) Tunes of Glory Argentina Ecos de gloria Australia Tunes of Glory Brazil Glória Sem Mácula Bulgaria Песни на славата(Bulgarian) Canada Tunes of Glory(English) Denmark De var helte Finland Sankarin kunnia France Les fanfares de la gloire Germany Einst ein Held Greece Oi antipaloi(Video Title) Greece Whiskey kai doxa(transliterated title) Hungary A dicsőség hangjai Italy Whisky e gloria Japan Tunes of Glory(Japanese) Mexico Ecos de gloria Norway Highland-regimentet Poland Pieśni chwały Portugal Uma Vez, Um Herói Romania Marşuri de glorie Soviet Union Мотивы славы(Russian) Spain Whisky y gloria Sweden En gång hjälte Turkey Zafer marşları(Turkish, pre-release title) United Kingdom Tunes of Glory United States Tunes of Glory West Germany Einst ein Held Yugoslavia Fanfare slave(Serbian, literal title) ···················································································· ✘ Website: https://www.artflix.info FOLLOW US! ✘ Twitter - https://twitter.com/Artflixtv SUPPORT US! ✘ Membership: https://bit.ly/33nGlVm MORE MOVIES! ► Film Noir: https://bit.ly/3yP7UR2 ► Classic Movies: https://bit.ly/2VhJRN2 ► All Playlists: https://bit.ly/2AsmqTR #classicmovies #filmnoir #colorizedmovies ···················································································· COPYRIGHT: All of the films published by us are legally licensed.
