Having just watched this film I can only say what a delightful little gem it is. A gentle tale of romance set amid the glorious Scottish scenery. Some wonderful effects (for the time of the making of the film) - see the credits, the train journey, and the Corryvreken Whirpool sequences.
Wendy Hillier gives a stunning performance as the girl who knows where she's going - until she meets Torquil, and Roger Livesey (as Torquil) gives a performance which many modern stars would do well to emulate.
The film exhudes a delightful and genuine Hebridean atmosphere with all the bit players adding to the authenticity of the whole. The scenery is stunning (even in Black & White!)and shows off the Isle of Mull in all it's glory.
Having visited the Isle of Mull I can vouch for the authenticity of the telephone box by the waterfall and the delightful hamlet of Carsaig where much of the filming took place.
You can still visit the castle on the headland where Sir Roger's friends lived (and where the steamer passed on the outward journey) It is called Duart Castle.
"Achnacroish" is situated a mile south of Craignure and is called Torosay and is open to the public.
The Western Isles Hotel still stands sentinal over Tobermory Harbour.
The tower with the curse can be found at Loch Buie (about 18 miles south of Craignure)but is no longer open to the public.
