Event Details

Betrothed to a wealthy industrialist old enough to be her father, Joan Webster (Hiller) knows where she's going: off the coast of Scotland to the remote, picturesque Isle of Kiloran for her imminent wedding. Waylaid by inclement weather on the Isle of Mull, however, Joan finds ever more obstacles placed in her way, from a raging whirlpool of legend to the provincial charms of a British naval officer (Livesey) marooned alongside her. Handsomely shot in part on location, I KNOW WHERE I'M GOING! would take full advantage of its dewy Celtic atmosphere, transforming every potentially banal landscape into a moment of idyllic splendor. Powell and Pressburger's luminous spin on the romantic comedy would also prove to be one of the company's most enduring and beloved films, fleshing out its central love story with tales of family curses, rogue eagles, Highland dancing, and other bits of characteristic local color. 35mm.
