Yes, I remember seeing it way back also.

One thing that has stuck in my mind is that another folksong [also well-known march, a company march of the Scots Guards] which occurs in the film is "Ho Ro, My Nutbrown Maiden" [Gaelic "Ho Ro Mo Nighean Donn Bhoidheach", wonderfully sung on Youtube by The Rankin Family - google it]. This is also mentioned as one of the "Tunes Of Glory" in the great film of that name; one of the marches that Alec Guinness's Highland Colonel recommends to be played at his predecessor's (& great rival's) funeral.
