I Know Where I’m Going - 1945 - 7/10

So declares 25-year-old Joan, traveling to marry a much older, wealthy industrialist.
(Wendy Hiller slightly miscast as she resembles 40 instead of 25.)
That is before she is stranded on Mull, however, as howling weather means a forbidding sea.
On Mull, time downshifts and Joan falls under the spell of the locals, the slower pace.
She encounters and is drawn to the laird, even hears of the curse of the castle.
An enchanting film, filled with memorable characters and a rollicking ceilidh.
And a roiling deathtrap – Corryvrecken.

A film that haunted me for years. On our 20th anniversary, I booked passage on the QE2, later boarded the Flying Scotsman, then made a dash, a gamble, to the small boat that would take us into Corryvrecken. As with so many of my risks, Fortune did not favor me.
