Kirk Douglas, Richard Harris star in this special film presentation for Bank Holiday with Ulla Jacobsson, Michael Redgrave

The year was 1942, the place was occupied Norway - the stakes were the highest the world has ever known. It was a race against time - a race which, if lost, would have given the Germans the atomic bomb.

The Grand Finale

The Edinburgh Military Tattoo is presented by HQ Scotland (Army) and produced by Brigadier John S. Sanderson, DSO, OBE

One of Britain's major tourist attractions, the Edinburgh Military Tattoo is as much a part of the Edinburgh Festival as more earnest activities going on in the city below the castle.
"A healthy antidote to a cultural binge" one critic wrote in the early days. A celebration of the military virtues, the tattoo combines some heady nostalgia, with modern technology and superbly professional presentation from the moment the massed pipes and drums first march into the Esplanade to the tear-jerking sentiment of the finale.
