Michael Powell & Emeric Pressburger, UK, 1945
“All quite beautiful, combining romance, comedy, suspense and a sense of the supernatural to winning effect”
As part of their prize the winners of our second quiz, Magic Hour, picked this classic, one of our audience vote losing 'also rans', to be screened at a later date.
In Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger’s stunningly photographed comedy, romance flourishes in an unlikely place—the bleak and moody Scottish Hebrides. Wendy Hiller stars as a headstrong young woman who travels to these remote isles to marry a rich lord. Stranded by stormy weather, she meets a handsome naval officer (Roger Livesey) who threatens to thwart her carefully laid-out life plans.
