Geordie

The 1955 film of a puny wee Highland laddie who sends off for a body building kit from the newspaper and grows into a gentle giant who makes it to the Melbourne Olympics, causes an international incident by insisting his kilt stays on when he competes, catches the eye of a glamorous Danish shot putter and lifts a car with one hand to save man’s life.

Then, in true understated Scottish style, Geordie returns to the glen where he was born, his sweetheart, Jean and a quiet life.
