Film: WHISKY GALORE!

"A Highland fling on a tight little island!"
When a Scottish island suffers a whisky shortage, the islanders are desolate. So when by chance a ship is sunk with a cargo of 50,000 cases of whisky, they see their salvation. But first they must outwit the English Home Guard commander who is determined to protect the cargo at all costs. The film became a worldwide hit and Ealing's most profitable film. It is also one of its most fondly remembered, particularly in Scotland.
