A second showing of the much acclaimed film about the eventful journey undertaken by Dr. Johnson and Mr. James Boswell to the Western Islands and Highlands of Scotland in 1773
With Peter Woodthorpe as Dr. Samuel Johnson, Gary Bond as James Boswell
"The Highland Jaunt was the pleasantest part of all my life. I would not lose the recollection of it for five hundred pounds." - Dr. Samuel Johnson
"This was a programme with real human warmth" (The Guardian)
"It was a film... which held attention by its sheer naturalism" (Yorkshire Post)
"It was a delight from start to finish" (Morning Star)
Though Dr. Johnson was predisposed to dislike Scotland and the 'Scotch,' by the end of the tour, physically uncomfortable though it had been for a portly gentleman of his age, he was thoroughly converted, and James Boswell, the friend who had talked him into undertaking the trip, could congratulate himself on having completely won over the otherwise stubborn Sage of Lichfield.
