TUNES OF GLORY
An absolute gem: Alec Guinness and John Mills in two of their greatest performances.
What happens when men of war can't cope with the peace.
TUNES OF GLORY"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe; attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion... I watched C-Beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhauser Gate. All those... moments... will be lost in time...like tears in rain... Time to die"

Re: TUNES OF GLORY
Greatest war film ever made (along with The Dambusters).
"But Colonel, we didn't realise you'd made any decision at all!"
Classic.The stopped clock of The Belfast Telegraph seems to indicate the
time
Of the explosion - or was that last week's? Difficult to keep
track:
Everything's a bit askew, like the twisted pickets of the
security gate, the wreaths,
That approximate the spot where I'm told the night patrol
went through.

He joins the TA mate! Aside from that a brilliant film
Every man has a right to utter what he thinks truth, and every other man has a right to knock him down for it. Martyrdom is the test.
