Local Hero - Part 3 of 8

This is the fourth film from the pen of Writer/Director Bill Forsyth and follows on from the success of 'That Sinking Feeling' in 1980; 'Gregory's Girl' in 1981; and the lesser-known 'Andrina' (also 1981). Oil billionaire Felix Happer (Burt Lancaster) sends Mac (Peter Riegert) to a remote Scotish village to secure the property rights for an oil refinery they want to build. Mac teams up with Danny and starts the negotiations, the locals are keen to get their hands on the 'Silver Dollar' and can't believe their luck. However a local hermit and beach scavenger, Ben Knox (Fulton Mackay), lives in a shack on the crucial beach which he also owns. Happer is more interested in the Northern Lights and Danny (Peter Capaldi) in a surreal girl with webbed feet, Marina (Jenny Seagrove). Mac is used to a Houston office with fax machines but is forced to negotiate on Bens terms.
