In a complete change from last week’s episode, the 2016 remake of the 1949 Ealing Studios classic Whisky Galore is about as close as you can get to the original source material without being a blatant copy and paste job! Eddie Izzard finally gets some lines in a movie covered on this show but is it worth it and do they deliver!? What IS the perfect remake and what are the qualifications? Why wasn’t Mrs. Waggett given her own film? And why this pointless subplot about a “red case” that ultimately ends up meaning nothing?
Next week: The series presses forward with the Sylvester Stallone (and co-starring original lead Michael Caine) remake of Get Carter.
