Marcy's Dowry (1999) Director:David Mackenzie Writer:Bill Chamberlain An old farmer in the West of Scotland and his wife, who over the years, have spent several bank loans on their daughter, Marcie and now that she's marrying a police man, there's no money left. So now her parents get caught up in a web of crime, death, and blackmail for her. Awards:1 win Genre:Short | Comedy Cast (in credits order) Edward Woodward ... Gus Wise Sheila Donald ... Molly Wise Kevin McKidd ... Fraser Marsali Stewart ... Marcie rest of cast listed alphabetically: Rab Affleck Niall Greig Fulton ... Dan Frank Gallagher Gary Lewis Gary McCormack Paul Young ... Bank manager Kris Haddow ... Wedding Guest (uncredited A tale of blackmail, gangsters and a policeman's wedding. Runtime: 15 minutes Year: 1999 Country: UK Festivals: EIFF 1999 David Mackenzie's tale of blackmail, gangsters and a policeman's wedding is a comic delight. Written by Bill Chamberlain, it concerns an old farmer (Edward Woodward) in the West of Scotland and his wife (Sheila Donald), who, over the years, have spent several bank loans on their daughter, Marcie (Marsali Stewart), and now that she's marrying her boy-in-blue (Kevin McKidd), there's no money left. They decide that life insurance is the answer and Marcie's claim, after their demise, will act as a dowry. First they have to die. In the process of failing to drive off a cliff, they notice men-in-suits dumping what looks like a body in the quarry pool. Suddenly, being paid to keep their traps shut sounds like a healthier way to tackle the bank balance's short fall. Mackenzie has a terrific feel for comedy and the performances are beautifully understated.

...... It's enough to make you blush. Here's a rare thing. A bona fide 20th Century Scottish literary classic with international recognition, by the Glasgow end of the SIGMA Project (other participants Bill Burroughs and Kenneth White). The music's by Dumbarton's favourite son, David Byrne. It has a promising young writer/director David Mackenzie who has written a number of award-winning shorts for the BBC and Channel Four, most recently Marcie's Dowry, which showed in the Critics Week at last year's Cannes Film Festival. But it twice came close to being binned for lack of support. ....... www.variant.randomstate.org/18texts/18youngadam.html

I have written a pm to a Scottish guy who has seen Marcie's Dowry (and other Kevin's and Scottish movies)and has put it among his favourite movies. Maybe he has this short.... fingers crossed.

Marcies Drowry? I had it somewhere in my old computer, I'll look for it if you want. I'm not sure if I still have it but I remember the movie is short, maybe 10 mins.
