Thread Name: Sir Alec Guinness
Subject: RE: Sir Alec Guinness
Tunes of Glory. Simply the most interesting film I've ever seen. Never understood why "Kwai" got all the notice. Thought it had quite a few "cartoonish" characters, especially Bill Holden doing his "Stalag 17" bit, which never rang true to me.

Did you know that in the West End theatrical production of "Tunes", Guinness and Mills switched roles. Man, I would have killed to see that.

It was also nice to see Dennis Price with a decent role in "Tunes". He's another of my favourite actors, possibly one of the most vilainous presences on the screen.

Ya done good Sir Alec.
