I've stayed up too late ... in the morning ... watching this here in Norway.
American Clay Douglas makes a lot of money and then goes to Britain to find out how his younger brother died on a commando mission.
He meets one person after another in various British locations - the barge lock was fascinating - but it always returns to Scotland, where the retired unit commander lives and a pretty young woman who lives nearby. The retired commander is in love with the girl, who is impressed by the brash American visiting.
Lots of details about the *Douglases* and Mary Queen of Scots makes the film actually educational.
Even in black & white the Scottish scenery looks beautiful. If it were colorized, it might not bring out the color, unless the filming location is re-visited.
The showdowns about the truth of the death of the brother and another for the girl are plausible.
Vivacious Patricia Roc was very pretty to the point of beautiful, especially in evening dress, even without being statuesque. She reminds me of a Rocky High cheerleader in my class equally so.
Too much smoking, but it was part of the culture back then.
Neat car at the end. :-)
