Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
1865, an island off Cape Horn: Lighthouse keeper Douglas battles murderous old seadog Brynner for the affections of shipwrecked maiden Eggar in this less than beacon-bright international co-production, based on a novel by Jules Verne. Over-enthusiastic performances.Author: TJ
