Local Hero (Criterion Collection)

Sent by his domineering (and possibly demented) CEO (Burt Lancaster) to the Scottish seacoast to close a deal for a refinery site, Houston oil company suit Mac MacIntyre (Peter Riegert) soon finds himself charmed by the locale and locals...and plagued by second thoughts. His change of heart, though, is distressing the villagers--who actually want to cash out! Bill Forsyth’s wonderfully understated comedy co-stars Peter Capaldi, Denis Lawson, Jenny Seagrove, Fulton McKay; music by Mark Knopfler. 111 min. Widescreen; Soundtrack: English; Subtitles: English; bonus documentary "Shooting from the Heart" (1985); featurettes.
