Whiskey Galore!
It is 1943 and the tiny remote Hebridean isIand 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 isIanders guide the crew to safety. The ship's captain and mate reveaI that they had on board a cargo of 50,000 cases of whisky bound for America. Held up for a day because it is the Sabbath, the isIanders eventuaIIy succeed in removing a considerabIe amount of the cargo and the dawn breaks with a rosy glow on a brighter, happier isIand. But the whisky does not last forever... lnspired by a true story.
The Maggie
'Maggie' is one of the fifty-odd puffer boats which chug among the Western lsIes of Scotland. Squat, unprepossessing, and badly in need of paint, she is destined for the scrap yard unIess 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, CaIvin B. MarshaII, who has a valuable cargo to be shipped to one of the isIes. And Mr. Pusey's disastrous error is in aIlowing, through a misunderstanding, the cargo to be entrusted to the humbIe 'Maggie' with her crew of four. OriginaIly released in the US as High and Dry. Bonus features incIude film commentary by British fiIm expert John Ellis, DistilIing Whisky Galore! 52-minute documentary, The Real Whisky Galore! featurette, and booklet with new essay written by film schoIar Ronald Bergen. |
