Mackendrick quote
Mackendrick said "I began to realise that the most Scottish character in Whisky Galore! is Waggett the Englishman. He is the only Calvinist, puritan figure – and all the other characters aren't Scots at all: they're Irish!" If as director he spent time on Barra where it was filmed then he should have known better, since this island, Eriskay where the actual sinking of the SS Politician took place, and the fictional island of Little Todday where the sinking took place in the novel, are all Roman Catholic islands, not Calvinist, although admittedly this issue was glossed over in the film. Did nobody point this out to him? (Even on Protestand Hebridean islands, there may be high levels of drinking and not much respect for some aspects of the law e.g. in relation to poaching.)

Tennents Lager ad
Sometime in the 1980s, there was a TV ad for Tennents Lager that was clearly styled after the classic Ealing comedy. Perhaps it might be referenced in a Popular Culture sidebar. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DbmvdWNxwQA

Categories
I can see that given the filming in Scotland took place in 1948, that the article has been included in Category:1948 in Scotland, but given film was released in 1949 I wonder if it should also be included in Category:1949 in Scotland? Dunarc (talk) 22:41, 5 June 2022 (UTC)
