The Maggie (1954 Alexander Mackendrick & story)

Wry, unsentimental story - 'the puffer is on the subway'. It's another William Rose screenplay! Gets about two lines in Perry's book.

Paul Douglas (Executive Suite, We're Not Married, A Letter to Three Wives) thaws after tangling with rapscallion Scottish cargo operators Alexander Mackenzie, Tommy Kearins ('the wee boy', who Q immediately recognises has the most sense of all of them), James Copeland, Abe Barker.

Shot on nice Western Isles locations by Gordon Dines, score by John Addison.
