Headstrong Joan Webster (the wondrous Wendy Hiller) sets off, wedding dress in tow, to marry a rich older man on his remote Hebridean island. Stranded on Mull thanks to the weather, Joan finds herself struggling to cope with the unplanned turn of events. Powell and Pressburger weave their course of true love through flashes of surrealism, a life-threatening whirlpool and an ancient curse, disarming and enchanting in equal measure.

Beautiful romance that simply wouldn't work without that setting. Scotland is beautiful and this is wonderfully captured in the film. Roger Livesey demonstrates what a great actor he is and also that he may have deserved a bit more recognition for his work in his lifetime. The melodramatic approach, however, may not always appeal to everyone.
