Wiki.
Laxdale Hall (also known as Poacher Story and The Road to Nowhere; U.S. title: Scotch on the Rocks) is a 1953 British romantic comedy film directed by John Eldridge and starring Ronald Squire, Kathleen Ryan, Raymond Huntley and Sebastian Shaw, with Prunella Scales and Fulton Mackay in early roles. It was adapted by Alfred Shaughnessy and Eldridge from the 1951 novel Laxdale Hall by Eric Linklater.
The people of a small Scottish community refuse to pay their road tax until the government repairs their road. The story touches upon the British Town Planning system β mocking the New Towns Act 1946 (9 & 10 Geo. 6. c. 68).
