Rob Roy revisited

[Graham]

I watched the DVD again last night, I guess for the third or fourth time.

I must confess the film reduced me to tears, the beauty of the scenery, the fine acting, especially Jessica Lange. An altogether fine movie, if you have not seen it yet - do see it!

Liam Neeson looked very fine in his kilt also.

did you realize that a lot of it was filmed in OZ

I prefer "Rob Roy" to "Braveheart" any day; it is much more historically authentic compared to the latter, and I think captures the time period quite well.

That being said, my ALL-TIME favourite kilted movie (and my all-time favourite movie in general!) is "Tunes of Glory" with Sir Alec Guiness and John Mills -- if you haven't seen it, beg, borrow or steal a copy (just not my copy!) -- it is out on DVD.

It is about a Scottish Regiment in the days after the Second World War, and it was filmed at Stirling Castle (it is speculated that it depicts to the Argylls, but they use another tartan, cap badge, etc.)

Cheers,

T.

Graham you seem to bear a striking resemblance to the character Coll.( Rob tells him to keep his brother inline,and he is the first to be shot)sorry about that. and I am now watching it again as I did not finish it last night. It is surley one of my favorites as I own this copy.

Not familiar with the chap, I'll have another look, all I can say is that he must be good looking

I didn't know that, a lot of the scenes look like Scotland to me, the bridge scene is cos my son has been over that bridge (where Rob excapes).

Rob Roy sure is doing a lot of visiting or revisiting

Thanks for the site Bear, it really was great to see, since it is one of my favorite movies.

I'm afraid you are wrong David, the film credits say it was filmed entirely on location in Scotland. I'm glad really, where else could you film it for authenticity?

(Altho another good celtic fim, "raising Ned Devine", an Irish film, was filmed on the Isle of Man)
