THE MAGGIE (1954, b/w)

Channel 4, 1.30pm

Alexander Mackendrick directed some splendidly dark comedies (see above), but The Maggie is a far more soothing slice of Caledonian whimsy scripted by William Rose. Alex Mackenzie stars as the wily captain of a ramshackle Clyde steamer who cons a penny-pinching American tycoon (Paul Douglas) into entrusting his furniture delivery to his creaky old vessel. Like a slighter version of Whisky Galore, this picturesque trifle combines an affable cast with sublime scenery. (92min)
