Writer/director Michael Powell's first major success was this engrossing account of life on Foula, a Shetland Island off the coast of Scotland. Adventurous youth Robbie Manson (Eric Berry) considers joining the multitudes of young people leaving for the mainland or staying on the stagnant island with his pregnant girlfriend. Finlay Currie, Niall MacGinnis, John Laurie, Belle Chrystall, and Grant Sutherland co-star in this striking drama. 75 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; audio commentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
