A Determined Young Woman Discovers There May Be More To Life
Wendy Hiller’s career was a long one, first lucking out by appearing as the heroines in the first two Gabriel Pascal versions of Bernard Shaw’s plays “Pygmalion” and “Major Barbara”, and then doing regular film and stage work. Along the way she would also get an Oscar for best supporting actress in “Separate Tables”. She would still be appearing in television and movies up to the end. Never a really pretty woman (her supporting co-star in “Major Barbara”, Deborah Kerr, actually was far better looking – and would have more romantic roles), Hiller ended in pretty rich character parts. Example: her Russian Gramd Duchess in “Murder On The Orient Express”.

The real exception to her lack of a romantic lead role is not ‘Liza Doolittle in “Pygmalion”. It is Joan Webster in the Powell and Pressburger film “I Know Where I’M Going”. She is a lively and intelligent woman, but fairly ordinary looking. Which may explain why her romantic partner in this film is Roger Livesey (as Torquil Macneil). Livesey is a distinguished actor too, but hardly a handsome man. The two balance very nicely.

Joan, we are told, was alway assured about how to manage her life from the age of ten. She intended from her youth to marry well (i.e., a man of wealth and position). And we learn that she is now headed for the Hebrides in northern Scotland. Her fiancé is a wealthy man building a mansion on an island up there. He plans to marry her in the mansion.

It seems a reasonable set up, until Joan reaches the one port across the narrow seas (about fifteen miles) from the island. It seems the seas are quite rough, and the weather is not calming down yet. It would be suicidal to take a small row boat across the sea in this weather. Joan is flummoxed by this, as she had no plans to spend much time in the seaport.

What follows is the slow re-education of Joan. Firstly she finds her admiration for her rich boyfriend is not universal. Most of the locals think of him as a stranger or a fool (one can’t imagine why he wants a swimming pool on his island mansion – he has the entire ocean around him to swim in!). Then she discovers that these common people have lives of interest and intensity of their own. And the person who is awakening her to this slow realization is Torquil. A local Laird, he has much personal interaction with the people, who give him their respect and affection, but he is (like many nobles) land poor (he has some land, but no money). Torquil is capable of lecturing Joan (when she still tries to get to that island if she can get one of the locals risk it), berating her for risking the lives of some others by promises of money they need. But he also keeps showing the small joys of the locals, such as their dances and anniversaries. He also shows her the ruins of the ancient kingdom of Scotland, including a tower where a lovers’ tragedy occurred in the far distant past. And slowly Joan begins to realize that perhaps she should look at less pragmatic reasons to marry.

“I Know Where I’m Going” is not as well remembered as later Powell and Pressburger films like “A Matter Of Life And Death” (“Stairway To Heaven”), “Black Narcissus” (in my opinion their masterpiece), or “The Red Shoes”. But it is the equal of these films as entertainment, and deserves continued viewing by modern audiences.
