An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; measures 27" x 41") (Learn More) The Maggie (released in the U.S. as "High and Dry"), the 1954 Alexander Mackendrick English Scotland Ealing Studios seafaring travel comedy ("Who says scotch and water don't mix?"; "It's a new HIGH in Hilarity when a Scotch typhoon hits a Yankee tycoon and leaves him... 'High and Dry'"; "It explodes with fun!"; "When Yankee persistence meets Scotch resistance it makes an exploision of fun and laughter!"; about an American businessman who hires a Scottish ship to take important cargo to Italy, and there is a massive clash of cultures between how he thinks things should be done and how the Scottish locals feel things should be done) starring Paul Douglas, Hubert Gregg, Alex Mackenzie, Abe Barker, James Copeland, and Tommy Kearins. Note that Paul Douglas was having great success in the U.S. at this time, but he took this role, perhaps because he was perfect for the part, or perhaps he just wanted to make the movie, both to work with director Mackendrick, and because the movie was shot on location in Scotland and Italy!
