FROM TODAY'S FEATURED ARTICLE

Compton Mackenzie

Whisky Galore! is a British comedy film produced by Ealing Studios and released
on 16 June 1949, starring Basil Radford, Bruce Seton, Joan Greenwood and Gordon
Jackson. The directorial debut of Alexander Mackendrick, it was based on the
1947 novel Whisky Galore by Compton Mackenzie (pictured), and written by
Mackenzie and Angus MacPhail. Inspired by the 1941 wreck of the SS Politician,
the story concerns a shipwreck off a fictional Scottish island. The islanders,
who have run out of whisky because of wartime rationing, salvage cases of it
from the ship, against the opposition of the local Customs and Excise men. Like
other Ealing comedies, Whisky Galore! explores the actions of a small group
facing and overcoming a more powerful opponent. The film was well received on
release; renamed Tight Little Island, it became the first film from the studios
to achieve box office success in the US. It was followed by Rockets Galore!, a
sequel. A remake was released in 2016. (Full article...)

TODAY'S FEATURED PICTURE

The almond (Prunus amygdalus) is a species of tree in the family Rosaceae, the
roses. It prospers in a moderate Mediterranean climate with cool winter weather,
and is native to Iran and surrounding countries, although it is rarely now found
wild in its original setting. The fruit of the almond is a drupe, consisting of
an outer hull and a hard shell with the seed; botanically, it is not considered
a true nut. It is used extensively as a culinary nut, however, and is cultivated
worldwide. Around 80% of the world's almond supply is produced in the US state
of California. This photograph shows an almond drupe in shell, shell cracked
open, unshelled and blanched seed.
