Aldahbra Jun 21 This is worth watching, it is like peeping into another dimension, those people's lives at that time. It does however still have the power to make the audience laugh See more Jim P 10/13/2024 Whatever you do, watch this vintage version and NOT the remake... It's packed full of Scottish culture, charm and wit! But put subtitles on... 😆🤣 See more Blobbo X @Blobbo 04/27/2023 Hard to understand sometimes - either the Scotch accents or Blobbo hearing - but nice enough, even for we who not big whiskey fans. See more 09/02/2021 I had heard that this movie was a classic, and I was anxious to see it. After all, I've seen others Ealing comedies such as "Kind Hearts And Coronets" and "The Man In The White Suit", and those were good. But this movie was an unfunny dud. Perhaps it was funnier to Britons, but my mother and I hardly laughed. The whole concept could have been good, but the humor was dry as the proverbial funeral drum, and the concept of the officer trying to retrieve the whiskey and suffering for doing his duty, well, the idea is more cruel than amusing. Avoid this one and stick to the much better, later ones which are genuinely funny. See more 07/30/2021 One of the best from the Ealing studios albeit I had to watch with subtitles as the accents can be pretty thick at times. Stick it to authority and have the odd chuckle along the way. A good film. See more paul w 02/13/2021 Some good performances and well put together, but it's all very gentle and quaint by modern standards - a bit like an extended episode of Dad's Army. The result is a comedy which raises a few smiles but no real laughs. Ironically the scene which did make me laugh involved a doctor visiting an old man at his home. On discovering that the man's pipe has broken the doctor declares that "We can't have you giving up smoking" and promptly gives him a new pipe and some tobacco to put in it! I doubt there was meant to be anything funny about this in 1949... See more Read all reviews
