The Maggie
The 1953 film The Maggie has as its heroine a typical Clyde puffer of that name, and the story is of an American businessman desperately trying to persuade the rascally captain and crew to deliver his furniture on time to his new home on an island off the west coast of Scotland. Despite his pursuit of the boat by aeroplane and his joining the ship to spur progress, the route and timing of the voyage is determined by local community priorities and he gradually falls for the community and the steamboat.
The Ealing Studios film has the skipper played by Alexander Mackenzie and the American by Paul Douglas. Director: Alexander MacKendric. It was issued as High and Dry in the USA
The story was inspired by Neil Munro's short stories of the Vital Spark and her captain Para Handy.
