Flame in the Heather
Flame in the Heather is a 1935 British historical drama film directed by Donovan Pedelty and starring Gwenllian Gill, Barry Clifton and Bruce Seton. It was made as a quota quickie at Elstree Studios. Much of the film was shot on location around Fort William.[1] It was fairly unusual as a low-budget quota film to be set in the past, as most films tended to have contemporary settings.[2]

gollark: Do you desire MORE quotes?
gollark: "i used to think correlation implied causation. then i found wikipedia. now i dont.”“We're gonna have to retire the expression “avoid it like the plague” because it turns out humans do not do that”“Of course I’m developing a god complex, do you have any idea how hard it is to mass produce these guys without some kind of centralized facility?!”“This is the best effort I was realistically going to make.”""There's nothing in the rulebook that says a golden retriever can't construct a self-intersecting non-convex regular polygon.”"We are now performing actions within, outside of, beyond, in front of, behind and to the left of your comprehension.”
