Don't know if anyone else saw them, but both "The Quiet Man" and "The Rare Breed" were on this weekend. I didn't see all of the former this time around (missed all the kilted parts), but I made sure I taped the latter.
I forgot who mentioned it in one of the movie threads, but Brian Keith plays an ex-Highland officer and cattle rancher in "The Rare Breed." There's the scene where Keith is dressed in his uniform playing the pipes - too bad he's wearing trews, Black Watch tartan trews it's true, but trews. There's also the scene where you first see him - he's wearing a buffalo robe, but the way he's positioned it looks like a furry great kilt at first glance. Or maybe I have kilts on the brain
TCM is also the first place I saw "The Devil's Brigade" - the Canadian Black Watch with their kilts and pipes marching in to the fort. And it's probably a good thing that Richard Dawson wasn't regimental in the bar fight.
Finally "Robin and Marian", with Sean Connery as an aging Robin Hood, was on last night. It wasn't a kilt, or even a leine, but Connery goes through the entire movie unbifurcated - the only Robin Hood I know of to do so.
