The story is told of the poet's uncertain existence, his love of freedom and homeland, his appreciation of beauty, his brief rise to fame in the literary circles of Edinburgh and, finally, his decline and its unfortunate outcome. The subject is recommended bv the Motion Picture Committee of the Department of Secondary Teachers of the N.B.A. Many of Burns's poems are heard in the film." Movie makers BARON AND THE ROSE.

At his death, he named the price — that the church should lay on its altar on the second Sunday of June, every year, a single red rose. "The film shows excellent examples of early glass blowing.
