- ErroresDuring a break in the trail when Victoria told her father that she is not married, Provost Gow exclaims that she committed perjury, and this is apparently his motive to drop the case. However, Victoria did not commit perjury. Although she made the marriage claim within the courtroom, she was not in the witness box and was not under oath, having not been sworn in by the court clerk.

Frank Burdon: The people of these islands are the most long-suffering in the world - they'll put up anything: they'll pull in their belts if they think it's their duty, they'll even go to the ends of the earth to be blown to bits if necessary. But there's two things they won't put up with - bullying and cruelty.

As with other reviewers, I had never even heard of this movie and most of the players, so it was a surprise and delight to discover it.
I am always happy to see a motion picture present the evils of tyrannical government, even local government.
And the bullying of the chief government official, over what is to him such a minor, even trivial, matter shows just exactly what all of us, even 82 years after the release of this movie, and even thousands of miles from its setting, need to be aware of from even our neighborhood politicians and bureaucrats.
At the same time, the particular bully shows a lot of personal courage and is to be admired for it, and for his moral self-confidence.
However, as philosopher Sidney Hook warned us, and often unsuccessfully warned us, confidence in one's moral code is not good enough when that code is wrong; and courage to continue to believe in a wrong code is a dangerous courage.
As light-hearted as this production ultimately is, it is still both a lot of fun and a nice under-stated message. I highly recommend it, and there is a print available via Kanopy (for subscribers) and at YouTube.
