  • ""It's 1943, and the Scottish island of Todday is wilting from a whisky famine - until a ship runs aground with 50,000 cases of the golden nectar aboard! This ... comedy chronicles the effect of all those spirits on a tiny little island, and deftly satirizes the character of its thrifty, God-fearing population"--External container."
  • "SUMMARY: "Based on a true story. The name of the real ship, that sunk Feb 5 1941 - during WWII - was S/S Politician. Having left Liverpool two days earlier, heading for Jamaica, it sank outside Eriskay, The Outer Hebrides, Scotland, in bad weather, containing 250,000 bottles of whisky. The locals gathered as many bottles as they could, before the proper authorities arrived, and even today, bottles are found in the sand or in the sea every other year." (IMDB)."
