Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A rather charming 1983 film directed by Bill Forsyth and starring Peter Riegert, Denis Lawson, Peter Capaldi (in his film debut) and Burt Lancaster. This thoughtful comedy-drama follows an American oil company executive, "Mac" MacIntyre (Riegert), who is sent to negotiate with the local inhabitants of the Scottish town of Ferness because their home lies on prime coastline for new petroleum and chemical processing facilities. | |

All Men Are Perverts | |
| Local Hero / int_129749df | comment |
All Men Are Perverts: Danny is constantly thinking about sex. Either for himself, or wondering about the sex lives of other characters. | |

Abhorrent Admirer | |
| Local Hero / int_88cee6e2 | comment |
Abhorrent Admirer: At the Céilidh Danny is pursued - rather aggressively - by a female punk. He finds her abhorrent mainly because she's not Marina. | |

Airplane Arms | |
| Local Hero / int_b62c0e6e | comment |
Airplane Arms: Danny at one point, combined with a truly Girly Run (making this the film debut of both Peter Capaldi and the Girly Run of Peter Capaldi, both seen in other acclaimed works for decades to come). | |

And Starring | |
| Local Hero / int_c40c8b74 | comment |
And Starring: "And Burt Lancaster." In spite of the US poster's picture he's not the main character, but he is the biggest name and his role is one of the most important to the plot.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_3'); }) | |

Ambiguously Gay | |
| Local Hero / int_e34400ab | comment |
Ambiguously Gay: Happer. He has no wife or children, shows no interest in romance at all, is Desperately Seeking A Purpose In Life, and only seems to find it when he meets another man around his age. The film never really delves into that question, however. | |
