writesong Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 Greetings: I remember seeing a movie a few years ago, in black and white, starring Ronald Reagan, about some wounded soldiers in a South Pacific hospital. They are all being sent home, except for a Scottish soldier, who hasn't been told that he's dying. Ronald Reagan and the other guys pool their money to buy a kilt for the Scottish soldier, trying to cheer him up, but he is full of resentment and hostility. Does anyone remember the title of this movie? I wonder if TCM would show it, or was it on TCM that I saw it? Thank you.

patful Posted August 10, 2006 Share Posted August 10, 2006 "The Hasty Heart": http://tcmdb.com/title/title.jsp?stid=77455 It's a Warner Bros. film, so TCM can show it. I just requested it for you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
writesong Posted August 11, 2006 Author Share Posted August 11, 2006 Patful: Moran taing! (That's Scottish Gaelic for "Many thanks!") I'll add my suggestion along with yours. I did not know until now that the movie was remade, as a television special, in 1983, starring Cheryl Ladd. Tapadh leibh agus slainte mhath! ("Thank you and good health!")
