Whiskey Galore!
lt is 1943 and the tiny remote Hebridean island of Todday is plunged into the depths of despair. Everyone is affected. Spirits are at zero - for Todday is without whisky. Then a ship founders on the rocks, and the islanders guide the crew to safety. The ship's captain and mate reveal that they had on board a cargo of 50,000 cases of whisky bound for America. HeId up for a day because it is the Sabbath, the islanders eventually succeed in removing a considerabIe amount of the cargo and the dawn breaks with a rosy gIow on a brighter, happier isIand. But the whisky does not Iast forever... Inspired by a true story.
The Maggie
'Maggie' is one of the fifty-odd puffer boats which chug among the Western lsles of ScotIand. Squat, unprepossessing, and badIy in need of paint, she is destined for the scrap yard unless her skipper can get her repaired. This seems a forlorn hope - until Mr. Pusey makes his mistake. Mr. Pusey works for the high-pressure American businessman, Calvin B. MarshaII, who has a valuable cargo to be shipped to one of the isIes. And Mr. Pusey's disastrous error is in alIowing, through a misunderstanding, the cargo to be entrusted to the humble 'Maggie' with her crew of four. OriginalIy reIeased in the US as High and Dry. Bonus features incIude fiIm commentary by British fiIm expert John EIIis, DistiIling Whisky GaIore! 52-minute documentary, The Real Whisky GaIore! featurette, and bookIet with new essay written by fiIm schoIar Ronald Bergen. |
