Whisky Galore! and the Maggie: A British Film Guide

Editorial Reviews
Review
" A useful resource for students and scholars interested in contextualisation rather than mere opinion."--James Chapman, Film International

"...his perspective yields some sharp insights into the films..."-- Philip Kemp, Sight & Sound


Book Description
Colin McArthur covers two films, both made by Alexander Mackendrick. Whisky Galore! appeared in 1949 in postwar "austerity Britain", and The Maggie in 1953 when Britain was emerging into relative affluence. Both films are Ealing Studios productions, providing the opportunity to explore this remarkable outfit, and both offer distinct and fascinating representations of Scotland and the Scots.
