Actors Sean Biggerstaff and Iain Robertson will take part in a Q&A following the screening
In the midst of wartime rationing, the residents of the Island of Todday are gripped by a whisky drought. When an 8,000 ton cargo ship carrying cases of their beloved amber nectar runs aground, the islanders seize the opportunity to plunder the stranded vessel and hide their valuable loot from the home guard. Famously adapted into a much-loved Ealing comedy in 1949, this new adaptation of Compton McKenzie’s novel (based on actual events) features a stellar British cast, including Eddie Izzard, James Cosmo, Ellie Kendrick and Kevin Guthrie.
