Tunes of Glory (1960: Ronald Neame)

Quote:
Alec Guinness appeared in The Bridge on the River Kwai, Star Wars and Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy, but thought this compelling character drama was probably his best work. He was offered the role of the suave, Oxford-educated Colonel Barrow, but persuaded director Ronald Neame to let him play against type as Barrow’s nemesis Colonel Sinclair. Not everyone was convinced by his performance as the aggressive Glaswegian, who has been promoted from the ranks and then passed over. But Guinness was almost certainly drawing on memories of his stepfather, a Scottish officer who menaced him with a pistol and held him upside down from a bridge
