Rockets Galore! (U.S. title: Mad Little Island) is a 1957 British comedy film directed by Michael Relph and starring Jeannie Carson, Donald Sinden and Roland Culver.^[1] The sequel to Whisky Galore!, it was much less successful than its predecessor.^{[citation needed]}

It was based on the novel of the same title by Compton Mackenzie.

In terms of the film's relationship to Whisky Galore!, Gordon Jackson, Jean Cadell and Catherine Lacey take their same roles. Ronnie Corbett appears as 'Drooby', with cameo appearances by Richard Dimbleby, Michael Foot and Robert Boothby. It was made at Pinewood Studios with sets designed by the art director Jack Maxsted.

Although not a true sequel to Whisky Galore!, many of that film's locations at Castlebay and on the island of Barra were utilised again and many of the characters returned, but often played by different performers.
