X. Whisky Galore

1949
Alexander Mackendrick

Special screening made for captain Xav(who at the end couldn’t come again) and other who missed the film before!

A film stacked with great scenes and fantastically subversive comedy of the anti-authority kind, “excellent ,even when it is a bit dry” British humour and , well, 50,000 cases of whisky!

… On the remote Scottish island of Todday people are seriously depressed – there is not enough whisky and life without it isn’t worth living. One day a miracle happens. The SS Cabinet Minister, a large ship carrying 50,000 cases of whisky, is wrecked on the coastline! The locals quickly discover what the ship’s cargo is and rush to salvage as much of it as possible. Soon after, English authorities dispatch a few agents to reclaim the whiskey from the locals. However, instead of giving back the precious whisky, they decide to hide it all over the island and frustrate the agents so that they leave them alone….

This time not a special cocktail was made see Whisky Dissaster Warning
