Directed by michael powell, formerly part of the powell and pressburger production team. It stars james mason, sixty-ish, and helen mirren, twenty five-ish. Big names, although mirren was just getting started on her film career. When artist and writer brad morahan wants to get away from people and problems, he escapes to an island off the barrier reef. But even there, he can't find peace and quiet. His friend follows him from the city, and steals all brad's money. The greedy, cranky mother of his young model is hounding him, and even his dog is causing trouble. What a mess! Can any of this be straightened out? Very loosely based on the life of norman lindsey, aussie artist and writer. Familiar face peggy cass from mame is in here in a small role. It's good! Kind of a farce, but pretty much based on lindsey's life.
