Curiosidades

The 'Maggie' is a 1954 British comedy film directed by Alexander Mackendrick and starring Paul Douglas, Alex Mackenzie and James Copeland. It was written by William Rose and produced by Ealing Studios. It is a story of a clash of cultures between a hard-driving American businessman and a wily Scottish Clyde puffer captain.

Production

The Maggie was played by two J.J. Hay boats in the film, the Boer and the Inca. Much of the film was shot on location at Crinan and Islay. The film uses real place names as far as the Crinan Canal, then switches to fictional placenames once they get through it (apart from Oban, Applecross and Portree).
