Tunes of Glory (1960) starring Alec Guinness, John Mills, Susannah York. The popular colonel commanding a Scottish peacetime regiment (Guinness) is replaced by another colonel who is a stickler for detail and discipline (Mills). The new colonel tries to whip the regiment into shape, but is stymied by the men's resistance. The plot becomes complicated when the old Colonel, Guinness, strikes an enlisted man he finds with his daughter (York). This movie marked York's first appearance on-screen. (The film has English subtitles and closed captions, and they are very much needed, as the actors talk with a strong Scottish brogue and use many colloquialisms.) Grade: B
