This a fantastic adventure/drama/romance ! Here we see a wonderful showcase for Margaret Lockwood, one of Britain's best actresses of the 1940's. I have this film on DVD and have watched it countless times and it never fades. The plot is gripping, all the performances are outstanding and the moral end to the tale is what's sadly lacking in films today. James Mason is also stunning in the role of Captin Jackson, He comes across as an early anti-hero who is pushed to the limit by Barbara's insatiable greed and jealousy. If you appreciate a good plot with excellent acting then this film should not be over looked!!
A classic, but what ever you do-Don't watch the Micheal Winner remake, it's cheap smut and insult to such a great British film.
