Synopsis:
Major Jock Sinclair has been in this Highland regiment since he joined as a boy piper. During World War II, as Second-in-Command, he was made acting Commanding Officer. Now the regiment has returned to Scotland, and a new commanding officer is to be appointed. Jock's own cleverness is pitted against his new C.O., his daughter, his girlfriend, and the other officers in the Mess.
Reviews:
One of the most absorbing and powerful films I’ve ever seen. Perfectly nails the feeling of playing the outcast charged (at least in your own mind) with unpleasant duties, and being viscerally aware that you’ve lost your peers and are powerless to win them back even as you fruitlessly try. Charisma is a divine gift, and ultimately some people have it and some people don’t. I loved the sheer pathos of Barrow being a former Japanese POW, and a legitimately impressive guy, whose personal life was a shambles and who was manifestly unable to command even token loyalty from most of his officers.
Astonishing work, deserves far more than the semi-obscurity into which it’s fallen. And the wintry Highland setting is the cherry on top.
