This film truly displays Powell and Pressberger's mastery of cinematography that was far above their contemporaries in the British film industry. The scenery of the Western Isles is used to full effect. On both the location shots and the indoor scenes, the photography is so wonderful that a still taken from virtually every scene would make a work of art as a photograph. The plot is predictable but still very enjoyable, driven along by fine acting from both the leads and a superb supporting cast. Roger Livesey always gives a fine performance. Wendy Hiller's character is meant to be 25 and I found that hard to believe, so I checked up on her here and discovered that she was 33 when the film was made. All in all a highly enjoyable movie.
