Local Hero

on BBC Two England

starring Burt Lancaster Peter Reigert Denis Lawson with Jenny Seagrove Fulton Mackay.
The giant American
Knox Oil Corporation has its eye on the remote
Scottish village of Ferness - intended as the site of a new refinery. Maclntyre - an ambitious young executive - would seem to be just the man for the job of negotiating a 'fair' price with the villagers. But Ferness can have a strange effect on its visitors as Maclntyre discovers. A delightful and magical comedy from the producer of Chariots of Fire and the director of Gregory's Girl.
Produced by DAVID PUTTNAM
