Is this one any good? I would like to know if it's worth buying it for other reason than obvioulsy Caine

It's a relatively slow paced film, but I loved it, Caine is once again amazing. A tough exterior but a soft hearted Alan Brec, a parody which Caine pulls of particularily well. A good story as well, not really about the kidnapping more about the Scottish Spirit and independance streak that all Scottish people seem to have. I would recommend that you buy it. As the reviewer said, it is a hugely underrated film and deserves a rating higher than a lowly 5.9.

Not bad at all-a fine gallery of English and Scotch character players, lovely scenery, teenage love affair and characteristic 70's colour film.

Vivien Heilbron, yes. But what about her sister, Lorna? As I recall she looks almost identical, was Avon's girlfriend in Blake's 7, and was Peter Cushing's daughter in 'The Creeping Flesh'. Or possibly Lorna and Vivien are the same person, I don't recall. Anyway, Lorna was married to poor old Nicholas Clay. Sad, he departed young. Perhaps you might try and console her, Squeeth?
