John Mills gave one of his greatest film performances—and earned a Venice Film Festival Best Actor award—as a neurotic, too-tightly wound British martinet determined to restore order to his Scottish regiment in TUNES OF GLORY. James Kennaway’s outstanding screenplay was Oscar-nominated, and this powerful drama earned five BAFTA nominations, including nods for Mills, Guinness and Best Picture. BOXOFFICE MAGAZINE said: “In this superlative picture about a power struggle between two would-be commanders, Guinness is the crusty war dog who refuses to let go, while Mills is the disciplined traditionalist who will settle for nothing less than order. This is as fine a military drama as has ever been made; A SOLDIER’S STORY and A FEW GOOD MEN crumble in its shadow.”
