"Tunes of Glory" on TCM tonight

[Jack Daw]

Kennaway wrote both leads as complicated characters, so I continue to watch it going from one point of view to the other. I have the film on dvd and have watched it maybe a half dozen times and haven't grown tired of it, yet.

I agree. My VHS copy was almost worn out before I bought the DVD. I recommend the book to anyone who enjoyed the movie.

I highly recommend Kennaway's novel for those wishing to explore the story further; Kennaway based the story on his own experience in the Gordons, and the novel has even more details that Kennaway could not include in the screenplay. The novel also makes Jock a much more sympathetic character.

I highly recommend Kennaway's novel...T.

I've been meaning to find it, but have been busy.

The novel also makes Jock a much more sympathetic character.

WWII is one thing, but being called a "kiltie-kiltie cauld bum"...
