I absolutely love this film and have watched it many times. The ending nearly always makes me cry. There is so much of this f ilm that is relevant in my life and in my fathers life, a scot and military man who had a striking resemblance to Alec Guiness. The pipe major is absolutely brilliant and reminds me of my highland dancing instructor Pipe Major Mortimer at Dunblanes Queen Victoria School.. The tunes of glory are so real in my life having listened to them so often as a child.

I think so, since the Nights Watch is what someone who had never heard of the Black Watch might think the Black Watch would be upon hearing the name. “The Black Watch, but Metal”
Why was Dusty still in bed after reveille had sounded? Was he sick or just being lazy? The part where he finally joined everybody for dancing class was a bit cringy when his pajama legs started sliding down.
If you mean the first one, the tune is 'Johnnie Cope', or more specifically, 'Hey, Johnnie Cope, Are You Wakin' Yet?'. It is the traditional reveille of the highland regiments of the British Army, with its roots in the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
@@pistonar That wasn't clear from your question which makes no mention of this being a possible "warm up" exercise. No, this was not normal routine. The Colonel ordered these special classes to ensure his officers did not discredit the regiment by dancing badly at the forthcoming regimental ceilidh ball. The new Colonel is a stickler for proper form and has caused some resentment among his officers by ordering them to attend these dancing classes.
@@sirderam1 I assumed it was some sort of warm up as it was early morning, and what I think were enlisted men were doing normal calisthenics. Having never watched the movie, I didn't know what the dancing was for, and I was trying to establish if it was a real thing they were doing as part of morning exercises.

I very much doubt whether you have been within a million miles of any regiment, let alone a Scots one as you obviously have not the faintest idea of their traditions and history.
That "petty pack of puerile prancing pratts" are the chaps who lead those "poor privates" through all sorts of misery and hardships you sir wouldn't last a minute in. I've met many a superb officer in my short time at Sandhurst I have spent thus far and I'd be dammed if such a remark can pass about my friends predecessors without challenge.

Having played in the PIPES and DRUMS it brings back great memories. Wore the BLACKWATCH Kilt with great pride.
Served in the Black Watch at Stirling from 1962 to 1964. Great times but bloody cold in winter, especially on guard duty.
One of best films I ever watched….memories from my youth
It's a masterpiece
Brilliant movie.
One of my favourite movies
UN BEL FILM, INDIMENTICABILE E PRIVO DI VOLGARITA'
AN EXCELLENT FILM
I hated piping in the bitter cold. My lips and cheeks would freeze not to mention my fingers. Couldn't do a birl.

Love doing the eightsome. The pipe major is the famous Scottish actor Duncan MacCrae. (Thanks to Macone Scotland for correcting my earlier post.

You have to be a piper to appreciate this!
A 1950s Scottish Battalion, smart , disciplined . Please don't let Nicola Sturgon have control over troops like this.
Yes because its her fault we only have 1 battalion left.
@@bachatacam4016 and you’ll have none if she has control
She doesn’t want troops beyond a personal security detail, and to put herself in Holyrood Palace

I see Gordon Jackson dancing as well...
I felt sorry for the rather late company commander . . . . rather a different army than ours is now.
Not sure of the origin. Sir Alec Guinness, John Mills, and another British actor who has shown up several times before.
John Fraser the British Alain Delon.
Great film
And all were commando!
Barrow rather a martinet

So true….
Hey there,

Typical British Officer, decides it’s best for hands above the body even when instructed otherwise 😂
Were these soldiers Black Watch?

Brilliant film. Is it the forerunner of the Nights Watch from GoT? Looks cold enough.
I think so, since the Nights Watch is what someone who had never heard of the Black Watch might think the Black Watch would be upon hearing the name. “The Black Watch, but Metal”

Hungover
If you watch the film, you will see it mentioned that there's 'army time' and 'Dusty time', which is always 10 mins. late: "It's a tradition."
@@Offshoreorganbuilder That makes sense. One of the weaknesses of that movie was that it didn't have subtitles.
Wat?
dap cho roi
Ha ha are all pipe major's pricks, just wondering I know of none!
What's this bagpipe tune?
I'd like to know too...
If you mean the first one, the tune is 'Johnnie Cope', or more specifically, 'Hey, Johnnie Cope, Are You Wakin' Yet?'.
It is the traditional reveille of the highland regiments of the British Army, with its roots in the Jacobite Rising of 1745.
In the formal dance scene its "Blue Bonnets over the Border"
@@ianmckellar8146 Nope, it's Atholl Highlanders
Johnny Cope is the Reveille tune, De'il Among the Tailors is played during the dancing.
och a wee bit off-key don't y'think... lmao
Thought I had tuned into Ru Paul's Drag Race for a moment.
Honestly, did they did this sort of ridiculous square dancing for real?
What sort of ridiculous dancing would you have them do?
@@sirderam1 That wasn't my question. I was asking if they 'warmed up' in the morning with dancing like that.

Imagine being some poor private soldier forced to obey this petty pack of puerile prancing pratts.
You have'nt a fucking clue Bat about the Scots .
