4.0 out of 5 stars a personal favourite 18 Jun 2001
By A Customer
Format:VHS Tape
An odd film made when Michael Powell retreated to Australia, following the controversy surrounding his Peeping Tom film. This film is influenced by Shakespears The Tempest in theme (which was apparently an unfullfilled dream project of Powell's), and is a colourful and effervescent little film in which a wondefully crusty James Mason plays an artist going to live on a supposedly deserted island to paint some masterpieces. Instead there is an assortment of odd bods about, the most devine being Helen Mireen (her film debut?). He is tempted by her, and how could he not be. Never has an actress been so comfortable looking on screen whilst nude. Her glorious natural assets make the current silicon set look quite ridiculous. This is not a Powell masterpiece, but a personal favourite. Filmed on Australia's Great Barrier Reef.

4.0 out of 5 stars dated, but not disappointing 20 Jun 2010
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I first saw this film at high school age, back in 1968. The director had updated a Norman Lindsay story to the then modern setting of a Great Barrier Reef island. I now live in this area and know that the simple rustic charm of the backdrop and people of this film belong to the past, but this does not detract from seeing the film again. It has a light hearted touch and is never too far from a gentle eroticism that does not stray beyond naughtiness. Helen Mirren in one of her very first screen roles is delightful as the free spirit island girl who naturally becomes the muse for the artist getting away from it all on the island.
This is not a deep or very serious film, which is all the more reason for still retaining its ability to be a good movie matinee experience. Transfer to DVD from old film stock results in some grain, but the quality and colours are generally very good.

1.0 out of 5 stars Avoid! 8 Jan 2011
Format:DVD
This long awaited release is an utter disappointment, not for the picture quality - which is crisp and bright, but for the unforgivable way in which the picture has been chopped in order to con the public into believing they are getting the original aspect ratio as seen at the cinema when in fact all they are getting is the pan & scanned 4:3 ratio which has been further butchered by masking off about a 6th of the bottom of the picture to make it fit the so-called 'widescreen' TV ratio of 16:9.
If a movie is filmed in 'cinemascope' then it should be released as that - in true 'letterbox' format & not the all too common cheap option of butchering further an already cropped picture.
Another wasted opportunity sacrificed upon the altar of the 'quick buck'. PATHETIC

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting viewing
Couldn't have been better in a time still flagged with unnecessary film censorship laws. Still Helen Mirren and James Mason override this to make it a masterpiece of cinema.

This film is unworthy of James Mason's talents - made all the more strange by the fact that he also co-produced it. Read more
