In Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's stunningly photographed film, romance flourishes in an unlikely place — the bleak and moody Scottish Hebrides. Wendy Hiller stars as a headstrong young woman who travels to these remote isles to marry a rich lord. Stranded by stormy weather, she meets a handsome naval officer (Roger Livesey) who threatens to thwart her carefully laid-out life plans. A wonderful film that inspired the analytical work shown at left, as well as a New York woman's personal pilgrimage that is the subject of a television documentary, I Know Where I'm Going! Revisited (1993) — which is included in the DVD, along with much background material about the film. This is truly a 'must-see' cinematic work, beautifully reproduced in DVD format, with perfect quality in both visual and sound elements.

I Know Where I’m Going! is presented in its original theatrical aspect ratio of 1.33:1 (NOT widescreen or "letterbox" — this format fits the normal TV screen with no loss of the original image dimensions and no compression). This digital transfer was created from a 35mm preservation print recently manufactured by the British Film Institute from the original nitrate elements. The sound was mastered from the original optical tracks. The transfer was supervised and approved by director of photography Erwin Hillier. Telecine supervisor: Maria Palazzola; Telecine colourist: Pete Makosz/The Machine Room, London. Transferred to DVD by The Criterion Collection. 91 minutes. Closed captioned. Region 1 encoding (U.S. and Canada). Dolby Digital Sound. Black and white.

Also from acclaimed producer Michael Powell, another DVD transfer of a film set in the remote North Sea islands, in a story based on real-life events on St. Kilda, Scotland (though actually filmed on Foula, and called by the ficticious name Hirta in the film): The Edge of the World (1937, B&W) (DVD) $26.99 (click image for details or to buy)

Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger's first film collaboration, the exciting and suspenseful World War I drama, Spy in Black (1939), was filmed in Scotland's Orkney Islands.       Spy in Black (1939, B&W) (VHS) $9.99 (click image for details or to buy)

Based upon characters created by Scots author A.J. Cronin and filmed in Auchtermuchty, Fife, this very successful television programme is set in a Scottish village in the aftermath of World War II. Dr. Finlay has been serving overseas in the Royal Army Medical Corps, and returns to the small town of Tannochbrae expecting to resume life as it was. However, while his crusty mentor Dr. Cameron is unchanged, everything else has been affected by the war. His fiancée decided not to wait for him, he must deal with new colleagues, and even the domestic arrangements of the practice are overturned as the resolutely chaste housekeeper is wooed by the local chemist. This charming and evocative series may remind you of another popular British TV programme, 'All Creatures Great and Small'.
