Rockets Galore!

(U.S. title: Mad Little Island) is a 1957 British comedy film directed by Michael Relph and starring Jeannie Carson, Donald Sinden and Roland Culver.

In terms of the film's relationship to Whisky Galore!, Gordon Jackson, Jean Cadell and Catherine Lacey take their same roles.

Although not a true sequel to Whisky Galore!, many of that film's locations at Castlebay and on the island of Barra were utilised again and many of the characters returned, but often played by different performers.

The German project leader Dr Hamburger proposes the best location is the Hebridean isle of Todday.

An RAF officer, sent to negotiate with the people, falls in love with Janet Macleod, the local schoolteacher and realises what the base would mean to the islanders.

[6] Howard Thompson of The New York Times wrote of the film: "the general tone is good-natured, the fun is wholesome, if spotty and somewhat forced, and the color photography of the remote little island is altogether lovely.

… But it's a far cry from those succinct, Scotch-inspired hiccups that put Todday (actually the Isle of Barra) on the movie map.
