Decent little seafaring movie this, perfect for a Sunday afternoon. Set in the early 20th Century the action takes place in the Frisian Islands off the coast of Germany and sees our heroes exploring these islands together. Carruthers (Michael York) and Davies (Simon MacCorkindale are very dashing too. Soon trouble arrives however when they discover a plan by the Germans to set a fleet of barges to invade Britain. Of course any film with Germans wouldn't be complete without the great Michael Sheard in it, and he plays Bohme with his usual nasty charm. It's not without faults either though and could've done with being a bit more exciting. That said it's enjoyable and it's always nice to see Jenny Agutter in a film, this time playing the German love interest.
