Ealing's most parched comedy gem, "the longest unsponsored advertisement ever to grace cinema screens," is Alexander Mackendrick's debut film. Inspired by the true tale of a whisky cache shipwrecked off the Scottish coast, it sets a prim English army captain against wily Scots fiercely guarding their beloved liquor. This mischievous classic not only defined the 'Ealing Comedy' style but also served as a brilliant showcase for Mackendrick's directorial prowess.
