Description:Joan Webster (Wendy Hiller) is a young English woman who travels to the islands of Scotland to marry a wealthy older man. She gets stopped one island short by a storm that lasts several days. She meets Torquil MacNeil (Roger Livesey), the laird of the island she's trying to reach, who is on a short leave from the navy. While waiting out the storm, Joan and Torquil are thrown together often and begin to fall for each other. But Joan is determined to marry a wealthy man, so finally, she bribes a local lad to take her to the island. Torquil, knowing that they will likely die in a storm, jumps in the boat and goes along. The storm carries them to a whirlpool and it's only Torquil's actions that save them. They are forced back to the island where they started. The next day the storm is over and Joan's fiance comes to get her, but by this time, she's decided to stay with Torquil, land-rich but money-poor though he is.

Review - I Know Where I'm Going!

A great plot, fascinating peripheral characters, and a lot of Scottish lore and atmosphere. It was exciting in an almost breath-taking way during the storm.
