I Know Where I'm Going (1945)

A headstrong young women (Wendy Heller) sets out for an island off the north coast of Scotland where she is to marry a middle-aged millionaire she barley knows, thinking of course that this will make her life complete. Only on the way to her impending nuptials she meets a poor but charming navel officer (Roger Livesey) bound for the same island, and a monstrous gael keeps the two stranded together in a small community on the Scottish shore. Well you know what happens next, but I’ll wager a bet you’ve not seen it done more gracefully. Full of characters you want to go to Scotland and meet, and replete with the charm and quirky elegance common to the Powell/Pressburger cannon, there’s even some nifty visual and editing effects for a black & white movie. 4 out of 5. I’ve got to say it, Roger Livesey really cool.
