Whisky Galore! & The Maggie: Two Films by Alexander Mackendrick

Founded in 2002 as one of the first-ever subscription film services with its DVD-of-the-Month Film Club, Film Movement is now a North American distributor of award-winning independent and foreign films based in New York City. In 2015, Film Movement launched the reissue label Film Movement Classics featuring new restorations released theatrically as well as on home video, with an emphasis on films by auteur directors such as Eric Rohmer, Peter Greenaway and Takeshi Kitano. Alexander Mackendrick directed The Man in the White Suit and The Ladykillers for Ealing Studios before moving on to Hollywood where he directed Sweet Smell of Success. Here we present two more of his Ealing comedies: Whisky Galore from 1949 with a cast of Ealing regulars including Joan Greenwood, and The Maggie (1954), which stars Paul Douglas and was released in the US as "High and Dry." directed by: Alexander Mackendrickstarring: Joan Greenwood, Basil Radford, Paul Douglas2020 / 175 min (combined)
