2005/06 Season
WHISKY GALORE
UK 1948 (U) - 82 minutes
Ipswich Film Theatre -
23 January 2006
- 7.30pm
A fantastic but wholly plausible tale of a ship full of whisky wrecked on a small Hebridean island during World War II. The local Customs and Excise man has his hands full as the islanders are determined to take advantage of the situation. A fast moving and well played Ealing comedy.
AUDIENCE COMMENTS:
The gentle British comedy has hardly dated and the cinematography was excellent. Ealing at its best;
The sort of gentle Hokum we can't make anymore. Great score, too. Falky and whimsical;
The ship must have had a few charms. It was stuck on the rocks, slipped sideways and disappeared upright;
Lifted your spirits on a cold dreary Monday evening. Very amusing. Haven't seen a black and white film in years. Lovely community spirit in more ways than one;
An enjoyable amusing oldie. Good to see the old actors. Joan Greenwood had a lovely Irish accent.
