Whisky Galore! was a 1949 comedy film based on the novel of the same name by Compton MacKenzie. Both the movie and the novel are based on the real-life 1941 shipwreck of the S.S. Politician and the unauthorized taking of its cargo of whisky in the Hebridean island of Eriskay
In France, the movie was retitled Whisky a Go Go, after which a Paris discothèque and later a West Hollywood nightclub were named, ultimately giving the English language the term go-go dancer.
Phew.
