Much whisky washes up on a Scottish island to the delight of the islanders who won't have to pay duty on the booze. Of course there are those to whom rules is rules.

I cam very late to this Ealing comedy and, to be frank, I was a little disappointed. Yes, it was good to see the location work, the xast of British stalwarts, and the prototype Captain Mainwaring. But, notwithstanding that is based on something which actually happened, the joke is very slight and, too me, was too insubstatial to sustain the film over its entire length.

I enjoyed it, but I felt its reputation wasn't entirely deserved, and I have no great wish to see it again.
