The Herald, 3rd March 2019Review: Pointless Whisky Galore remake lacks in spirit

Brian Beacom, The Herald, 10th October 2016Review: Whisky Galore!
Alexander Mackendrick's 1949 Ealing original, based on the novel by Compton MacKenzie was timely, set as it was during rationing, and tapping into a genuine lack as a boat load of whisky miraculously runs aground off a small Hebridean island a few weeks after the locals' supply runs dry. Here, in these gluttonous times, it becomes a one joke comedy. That joke being, us Scots like a drink.
