The Devil's Brigade

[macwilkin]

Just saw a rerun of the old War 2 movie Devil's Brigade. One character is kilted in what looked like Gordon tartan. In a bar scene he's teased by lumberjacks commenting on his petticoat and asking his date if he's wearing a skirt who does what to whom.

When the bar fight breaks out there's a scene where he jumps off the bar causing his kilt to parachute and they show him wearing what look like white jockey shorts under the kilt.

Guess they had to for the movie...but sure gives kilted Scottish servicemen a bad name.

There is an excellent article on the web site canadiansoldiers.com that discusses "The Devil's Brigade" in regards to uniforms, equipment, etc.:

The web master, who is a Corporal in the Calgary Highlanders, if memory serves me, does discuss the Highland attire that appears in the movie, including Richard Dawson's "flashing" in the bar scene.
