The Brothers is a British film melodrama of 1947, starring Patricia Roc and John Laurie, from a novel by L.A.G. Strong of the same name. It is set in the Western Isles of Scotland, and the long and murderous grudge between two clans there, the Macraes and McFarishes. Roc plays a serving girl, whose arrival to work for the Macraes reinflames the conflict and causes an internal power-struggle between two brothers in the Macrae clan (played by Maxwell Reed and Duncan Macrae).
