Rockets Galore! is a 1958 British comedy film directed by Michael Relph and starring Jeannie Carson, Donald Sinden and Roland Culver. It was written by Monja Danischewsky, adapted from the 1957 novel of the same title by Compton Mackenzie.

Production

The film was made at Pinewood Studios with sets designed by the art director Jack Maxsted.

In the team of Basil Dearden and Michael Relph, Dearden usually directed but Relph directed Rockets Galore! saying:

It always boiled down to my getting the subjects on which he wasn’t particularly keen. And I am not really temperamentally cut out to be a director. A director has to have a tremendous amount of patience and the ability to take detailed pains, and I find it very difficult to do that. I get impatient, start to cut corners, and I am much more at home being a producer.

Donald Sinden said "Whisky Galore! was based on a true story, whereas Rockets Galore, not so good, was on the same location but based on an invented story."
