The Wicker Man is set on a remote Hebridean (Scottish) Island, where a missing girl has been reported. A police sergeant, Neil Howie, travels by seaplane to investigate. He is played by Edward Woodward, whose surname perfectly encapsulates his acting ability. Fortunately this is the quality his best-known roles require, so he does rather well. Another successful part played by him is the stiff Australian, Lieutenant Harry Morant, court-martialled and shot during the Second Boer War in Africa (1899-1902), as depicted in the 1980 film Breaker Morant.
