Glad you enjoyed the movie. You pretty much nailed the pronunciation of my last name. Not a bit of Scottish background (mostly French on my mother's side and Romanian on my father's side - his last name is a corruption of a Romanian name.) It is an unusual film and first time I started watching it I wasn't sure I was going to like it but it did draw me in. It's a Powell and Pressburger film - mostly known for their Technicolor films that are more highly rated than this one. Too bad this one wasn't in color. Too be clear, Kiloran and Joan were both single - Mrs Potts' husband was in military service (this being filmed during WWII.) So although engaged still "fair game". Nice noticing that he may have ensured her return by entering the castle. Or perhaps not - that's the charming ambiguity. Allegedly one of the goals of the film was to highlight Scottish culture, which it does well.
