Your All Time Favorite Scottish Movie

[Moosedog]

Yes, the book is quite dark as well. Very Old-World fairy-tale-esque. I will have to try out the movie.

I remember seeing Thomasina and reading the Paul Gallico book also.

I always thought of it more as a cat/spiritual movie than a Scottish one even though it is set in Scotland.

Of course Susan Hampshire who played the "witch" later went on to star in Monarch of the Glen - not a movie but a very Scottish TV series!

I greatly enjoyed Monarch of the Glen when it aired on PBS. Unfortunately I didn't see the whole series, but found it avaliable on blockbuster, thus its now in my queue!

No problem...I'm just full of useless information .

I'm a little surprised by these references to appearances by Finlay Currie between 1971 and 1995 - he died in 1968.

He must have been an exceptional actor indeed.
