Danny Parker is set to swim The English channel, but he's distracted by a beautiful young woman, who's also there to complete the swim, tragedy strikes, and she drowns, Danny is convinced she was murdered.
As a whodunnit, it doesn't offer up anything really, as we see the incident, it would have worked better had they omitted that scene.
So it's more in the mystery thriller genre, on the plus side, the visuals are striking, it looks and feels very authentic, and The Dover setting works incredibly well, on the debit side, I found the story a little weak, there's nothing original, the film doesn't cover any new ground.
Best scene, Baker's Garage, look out for Arthur Lowe (of Dad's Army fame,) and John Schlesinger. John Horsley and John Ireland were pretty good. Joy Webster and Sheldon Lawrence are pretty convincing, and add a bit of glamour.
It's a competent movie, 6/10.
