Whisky Galore! is a 1949 British comedy film produced by Ealing Studios, starring Basil Radford, Bruce Seton, Joan Greenwood and Gordon Jackson. It was the directorial debut of Alexander Mackendrick; the screenplay was by Compton Mackenzie, an adaptation of his 1947 novel Whisky Galore, and Angus MacPhail. The story - based on a true event, the running aground of the SS Politician - concerns a shipwreck off a fictional Scottish island, the inhabitants of which have run out of whisky because of wartime rationing. The islanders find out the ship is carrying 50,000 cases of whisky, some of which they salvage, against the opposition of the local Customs and Excise men.
The music is in three sections:
1. Main Titles; 2. Boarding the Stricken Freighter; 3. Finale & End Titles.
A PACK comprises a full score plus a complete set of parts including strings 4/4/3/4/2.
Duration 5½ minutes
