Viral Edge Of The World / (Sub)

Writer/director Michael Powell’s first major success was this engrossing account of life on Foula, a Shetland Island off the coast of Scotland.

Finlay Currie, Niall MacGinnis, John Laurie, Belle Chrystall, and Grant Sutherland co-star in this striking drama. 75 min. Standard; Soundtrack: English; audio commentary; featurettes; theatrical trailer.
