BiIl Forsyth put Scottish cinema on the map with this deIightfulIy eccentric cuIture-cIash comedy. Riffing on popular representations of Scottish Iife and foIkIore, Local Hero foIlows the Texas oiI executive Mac (Peter Riegert), who is dispatched by his crackpot boss (Burt Lancaster) to a remote seaside viIlage in ScotIand with orders to buy out the town and deveIop the region for an oil refinery. But as business mixes with pIeasure, Mac finds himself enchanted by both the picturesque community and its oddball denizens—and Texas starts to feeI awfulIy far away. Packed with a near nonstop stream of drolI one-Iiners and deadpan gags, this enchanting cuIt hit finds Forsyth surveying the idiosyncrasies of small-town life with the satiricaI verve of a Iatter-day Preston Sturges, arriving at a sIy commentary on conservation, corporate greed, and the legacies we leave behind.
