Patricia Roc (Mary) arrives on the Isle of Skye as home help for the Macrae family as headed by Finlay Currie (Hector). He has two sons who are the brothers of the title - Maxwell Reed (Fergus) and Duncan Macrae (John). The Macraes have a long-standing feud with rival clan the McFarishes who also live on the island. The arrival of Roc stirs an interest in Andrew Crawford (Willie) who belongs to the McFarish family and this starts a major problem.
This film takes place on location and reveals an islanders code of behaviour. You don't want to fall foul of the kangaroo courts and you'll definitely know what I'm talking about after watching the film. What a way to go - it's original. The dialogue is straight talking and humorous and the characters are good. They are also flawed and don't hold their punches when disagreements pop up. It's an interesting film and you won't guess the outcome. It keeps you watching and tragedy is the name of the game.
Of the cast, Maxwell Reed was the first husband of Joan Collins whilst Will Fyffe who plays the likable Captain McGrath met a tragedy of his own after this film was made, falling to his death from a hotel window. Weirdly, Duncan Macrae has the same name of one of the feuding clans of the film and so is probably still fighting their battles. He gets fair treatment in the film if you ask me.
