This film is a lot of fun. Made in 1945 it concerns a young woman who decides to marry a very wealthy man, who is also a lot older than her, on a remote island in the Western Isles of Scotland. However on the way she is stranded by bad weather in a remote Scottish village.
It's a film which you kind of know already how it's going to end, but is made with such charm that it doesn't matter. The Scottish scenery is beautiful and the whole thing is directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger with a brilliantly light touch. Some of the actors don't really convince as Scots, but that's a small gripe. There are also a few too many Scottish stereotypes, but again that doesn't really matter. The film is fun and charming and has some great scenes, especially the whirlpool sequences.
