[voiceover introduction]
Narrator: Ah, here we are on the isle of Todday. If you want to look for it on your map, you'll find it out in the Atlantic Ocean, just about as far to the west of Scotland as you can go without losing your nationality. Mind you, Todday is no an ordinary island. Och no. For during the last war it became quite historical. Just when the people of Todday were dying for lack of their staple diet, something happened that was in the nature of a miracle. Meaning no disrespect. Right over there on that rock, one foggy night, a ship foundered carrying 50,000 cases of whisky. Aye, 50,000 cases of free whisky. Oh, but that was some years ago now. And there you have the sad side of the story. Nothing lasts forever. It was a case of hail and farewell.
[shot of a huge pile of empty bottles and wooden boxes]
Narrator: You might say it was *many* cases of hail and farewell.

Though by no means a great film there are many little points of interest, including the scenery of the Isle of Barra that dj mentioned, the bits of Gàidhlig that appear here and there and some singing. See if you recognize Ronnie Corbett (listed as Ronald).
So, not something I'd go out of my way to see, but worth a look if it comes your way.
Slàinte!
