Without ever breaking entirely free from its theatrical origins, this propagandist allegory nevertheless succeeds in creating an atmosphere that is at once haunting, mournful and inspiring. As the writer disillusioned by the world's complacent response to fascism, Michael Redgrave gives one of his most complex and tormented performances, as he regains the crusading spirit from his encounters with the victims of a shipwreck that occurred years before on the rocks near the lighthouse he now tends. With a bullish contribution from James Mason and truly touching support from ghostly émigrée Lilli Palmer, this is one of the Boulting brothers' finest achievements. DP
