I Know Where I'm Going!

I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) is a British romance you can watch online on iFILM. Joan Webster has always known exactly what she wants: money and order. So she heads for the Scottish Hebrides to marry an ageing industrialist she barely loves.

The weather has other plans. A storm strands Joan on the Isle of Mull, a few short miles from her wedding and unable to cross them. While she waits for the gale to break, she's surrounded by islanders who couldn't care less about wealth, and by naval officer Torquil MacNeil, a poor laird with an old title and a quiet pull on her. Wendy Hiller plays a woman whose iron certainty starts to crack; Roger Livesey is the man who makes her question the whole bargain.

Written and directed by Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger — the Archers behind The Red Shoes and Colonel Blimp — the film turns the black-and-white Hebrides, the Corryvreckan whirlpool and an old Celtic curse into something close to magic. A small, deeply loved classic for anyone who likes their love stories at war with common sense. Stream I Know Where I'm Going! (1945) online on iFILM.
