Tunes of Glory – 1960 Neame
- It’s a solid film but really it’s in the archives mainly because it’s a tremendous showcase for Alec Guinness- he plays a very large character here- chewing scenes– nails the Scottish accent- a drinking blue-collar whiskey drinker. He’s up against Mills who plays an upper-class disciplinarian intellectual type who drinks lemonade
- Guinness was a chameleon actor- much like Paul Muni and others, like PSH who would come after- Guinness couldn’t be more different here than his character in river kwai
- Intelligent writing and dialogue- great scene with Guinness and Kay Walsh
- Plays on your sympathies back and forth with Guinness and Mills characters
- Not in the top of 1960
- Recommend
