Wild and wonderful as the thrill-packed novel that inspired it !

Young orphan meets smuggler-priest in a Dorset backwater where the sea hides more than rum. The boy swings between piety and piracy under a mentor who wears velvet and guilt like twin cloaks. 18th-century England trembles in candlelight, held together by secrets and silver coins.

Directed by Fritz Lang · Written by Jan Lustig, Margaret Fitts

Starring Stewart Granger, George Sanders, Joan Greenwood, Viveca Lindfors, Jon Whiteley, Liliane Montevecchi
