  • "This is a mocking comedy in which a rich American is tormented by the captain and crew of an ancient Scots cargo boat commissioned to transport the American's furniture to his holiday home, a load beyond The Maggie's capacity but needed to save her from the scrapyard. The obvious play-off between traditional Old World canniness and brash New World impatience, Titfield Thunderbolt style, is here rendered interestingly ambivalent, the junior crew member enlivening the proceedings with the fresh eye he brings to them."@en
