Ealing Studios won international recognition with this spirited comedy, shot on the remote Hebridean island of Barra.
It is 1943, and the island of Todday is an island of despair. Everyone's spirits are at zero - Todday is without whisky, the water of life. Then a shipwreck brings hope when the islanders learn that the cargo is whisky. But finders cannot always expect to be keepers.
