"Tunes of Glory", as the gents around here have heard me say many times, is, in my humble opinion, the BEST kilted movie of all time, and the BEST movie about the British Army tae boot! It is well worth the rent, not only for the kilts, customs and traditions of the Scottish regiments, but also for the story as well!

"Tunes of Glory" is my favourite all-time movie, bar none.

There was another reference to kilts in "Northern Exposure" from Maurice:

"These (kilts) belonged to my Grandfather. We were MacAllisters on the distaff side of the family. He was a royal highlander, 42nd regiment, Black Watch."

"Ahhh...I can still smell his tobacco, cherry blend. After the war, Granddad moved to the United States and bought a farm in northern Oklahoma. I used to spend my summers there. They were the best days of my life. At night, he'd stand on the porch and play these. The sound of the pipes, filling the heavy, still night air."
Bottom line: rent "Tunes of Glory".

"There's Greenwich time, and army time, and summer time and DUSTY time -- that's a tradition that goes back to Alemein, boy -- I expect you'll get used to it."

"Och, away home and watch your television set -- Muffin the Mule is on at five o' clock!"

"You'll no play 'Cock o' the North' -- yon's a cheesy tune!"

Cheers,
