For some reason, they remade Whisky Galore in the recent past. The old black-and-white version was a gem. This one has its moments, especially Fernella Woolgar, but it lacks the whimsy of the original. I think Bill Forsyth, if he's still making movies, might have been a better choice for director. But after "Local Hero" and "Housekeeping," he seems to have all but disappeared.
