Whisk Galore 49 1 of8

Based upon the real-life sinking of the SS Politician, off the Isle of Eriskay during the second World War, it is a hilarious drink-filled romp through the culture of the Western Isles. The dour and staid Captain Waggett is outwitted at every stage by the quick-witted islanders of Todday, who will try everything to get their hands on the precious cargo of uisge-beatha...'the water of life'... as rare as gold-dust during the wartime rationing. Except of course on the Sabbath, when all attempts to retrieve the whisky are postponed by the spiritual needs of the people.

Thank you very much for uploading this i recently began watching Ealing comedy films and think they are very funny

henry mollison it the main cop in this: a shakespearean actor and real class: not a

false note by him, so good that McKendrick turned around and used him again in Man in White Suit. Very interesting actor and I have to assume something happened

early into the 50s to curtail his career since he was otherwise too choice, an accident, desease something. He is the equal of Basil Radford here, easily.

what class: even the titles, compared to the dreck you have to put up with these days. They are as clean and clear as a page in Vogue, the british edition of course.

Too bad that movies now are suffering from Alheimer's Desease. Terminal, more or less.
