Whisky Galore!

Based on a true story. The name of the real ship, that sunk Feb 5 1941 - during WWII - was S/S Politician. Having left Liverpool two days earlier, heading for Jamaica, it sank outside Eriskay, The Outer Hebrides, Scotland, in bad weather, containing 250,000 bottles of whisky. The locals gathered as many bottles as they could, before the proper authorities arrived, and even today, bottles are found in the sand or in the sea every other year.

Very pleasant, and at times quite funny. Not the most groundbreaking cinema, but comes close to being a chicken soup movie for me. Basil Radford is always delightful (this time playing a stuffy Home Guardsman) and all the various characters have happy endings and lots of whisky. Good for them.
