British director Ronald Niem's "Tunes of Glory" (1960) The case takes place shortly after the war somewhere in Scotland, where, after participating in hostilities in Africa, a battalion was relocated, commanded by the brave warrior acting Colonel Major Jock Sinclair. He is not a big fan of discipline, likes to give in and have fun in the company of his colleagues. But it turns out that the battalion is commanded by Colonel Barrow, who has to hand over the reins. The successor, however, holds completely opposite views on how to serve and how to behave. Besides, after he was in a Japanese camp, he was clearly traumatic. After a series of events, Sinclair seems to have already reconciled with Barrow, moreover, he went to meet him, closing his eyes to his misdemeanor, which could end for Sinclair by a tribunal, but, unfortunately, Barrow’s nerves could not withstand and tragedy occurred. She shocked Sinclair, who blames himself and others, but rightly so. And it turns out that he and the traumatic, like Colonel Barrow, could only hide it for a while. The film was watched with interest, despite the theme, especially since the performers of the main roles - Alec Guinness and John Mills were on top. It was interesting to see the Scottish warriors in kilts in the cold with Scottish songs, dances and bagpipes.
