  • Whisky Galore! (2016)
    Review preview for Whisky Galore!

    This particular malt is a wee charmer in its own right.

    Jennie Kermode · 4 out of 5
    Remake of the island classic.
  • Whisky Galore! (1949)
    Review preview for Whisky Galore!

    Commentators have dismissed Mackendrick's comedy about the islanders of Todday as stereotypical, patronising and tame, but it is outrageously funny and highly subversive.

    Brian Pendreigh · 4 out of 5
    Classic Ealing comedy where a group of Scottish islanders rescue and hide a shipwrecked cargo of whisky.
