From the acclaimed directors/producers/writers Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, comes a magical Romantic Comedy, I Know Where I'm Going! (1945).Since her childhood, Joan Webster (Wendy Hiller) knows what she wants and how to get it. At 25, she becomes engaged to Robert Bellinger, a rich, middle-aged industrialist of Consolidated Chemical Industries, who lives in the Scottish Hebrides on the island of Kiloran. Saying goodbye to her beloved father, she sets off on a long journey to the Isles, readying herself for an organized and secluded life. But something stops her plans; she’s trapped on Port Erraig on the Isle of Mull—just a few miles from Kiloran— due to an impending gale. Staying at a local’s house, she meets Torquil MacNeil (Roger Livesey), a navy man on 8 days leave who’s waiting to go home to Kiloran.Romantic tensions mount as they spend time together waiting out the gale, causing Joan to question her dream of marrying Bellinger and make desperate attempts to get to Kiloran—weather permitting or not. | |

Hereditary Curse | |
| I Know Where I'm Going! / int_28bbbe24 | comment |
Hereditary Curse: It’s a terrible curse for any MacNeil who crosses the threshold of Moy Castle. “This is the curse of Catriona MacLaine of Erraig: My curse on MacNeil of Kiloran and every MacNeil after him, if he shall ever cross the threshold of Moy, he’ll never leave a free man. He shall be chained to a woman to the end of his days and shall die in his chains.” Cue to a running Joan to meet Torquil. Not quite so terrible after all. | |

Break the Haughty | |
| I Know Where I'm Going! / int_2af6bbeb | comment |
Break the Haughty: Joan thinks that everything begins and ends with money: she persuades young Kenny, who needs 20 pounds to marry his sweetheart, to boat across the perilous waters to Kiloran in an idiotic attempt to get away from Torquil. Joan puts herself in danger and Kenny and Torquil. They survive the ordeal, and make it make it back to Mull, but Joan is obviously taken down a peg for her mistake. | |

Credits Gag: The credits are scattered around the scenery as the film opens with Joan in a Time Passes Montage. Bits of the credits are seen on the headboard of her crib, on her chalk slate, and on the side of the milk wagon. | |

Spiteful Spit: Ruairidh Mhór, man who runs the boat coming to and from Kiloran, does this after Kenny comes back from his ill-fated trip to Kiloran with Joan and Torquil, since Kenny recklessly did it without his permission. Poor Kenny then faints from pure exhaustion. | |
