Film Movement Classics toasts WHISKY GALORE! aboard THE MAGGIE (Review)

Film Movement presents two films by Alexander Mackendrick from opposite ends of his tenure at Ealing Studios.  In WHISKY GALORE!, a shortage of spirits devastates an Outer Hebrides island until a ship carrying fifty-thousand cases of whisky bound for America crashes on the rocks sparking a battle of wits between the locals and the Home Guard.  In THE MAGGIE, a wily cargo boat captain and an American businessman battle over an expensive shipment.
