Das Whisky-Schiff: Directed by Alexander Mackendrick. With Basil Radford, Catherine Lacey, Bruce Seton, Joan Greenwood. Scottish islanders try to plunder 50,000 cases of whisky from a stranded ship.
“A little town on a Scottish Isle suffers the most horrifying predicament, of which the outbreak of WWII in hindsight seemed to be an omen: theyu0026#39;re out of whiskey! Everyone goes into an almost catatonic state until fortune takes a turn for the better: a ship is wrecked on a reef. The cargo: 50,000 cases of whiskey. But thereu0026#39;s one do-gooder, the local militia leader, who just canu0026#39;t allow the cargo to be put to use. That, he says would lead to anarchy. Many well defined characters, good plot.”
