Remake of the 1949 original which utilises the same basic premise - Scottish locals plundering a ship that has run aground, and happens to contain a very large cargo of whisky...
The wartime tale stars Eddie Izzard, Gregor Fisher, James Cosmo and Tim Pigott-Smith.
I happened to be close to beautiful Portsoy (the harbour in particular)in Northern Scotland when they where shooting, and it barely had to set dressed. It's one of those places that seems trapped in the past. I've never seen the original, but will watch this with great interest.
