Anna (Susan Hampshire) arrives in Jersey, determined to escape her personal troubles, and meets Hugh (Michael Petrovitch). Hugh has a tremendous affinity with the sea and as he shows Anna round the island they begin to fall in love. Hugh persuades Anna not to return to her husband and they go to the old house that Hugh shares with his brother, George (Frank Finlay).

They flee to a remote part of Scotland and life is bliss until one day Hugh is found dead on the beach. Anna however believes that their love can overcome death. One morning, Anna is proved right...

Review

It's a shame that this film does not get much attention, and it's all but disappeared now. Which is a pity because if you allow yourself to go with the very leisurely pace, it's actually an effective little story. Susan Hampshire plays a woman who suffers such profound grief at the death of her lover that she somehow manages to bring him back from the dead. She doesn't do it intentionally though, and is shocked and bewildered by his seemingly miraculous return. Unfortunately, although he can move about he's still dead in every other respect, so things can only go downhill for poor Susan. --www.imdb.com

I enjoyed this film, it's sort of the horror film of Harlequin Romance. A passionate love story which ends in tragic death begins again when the dead man's zombified body returned to the grieving lover. Initially she is overjoyed, but he's not quite himself anymore, and his body continues to rot(which makes their sex life rather gross). Attractively shot with some lovely scenic locations... --www.imdb.com

5.0 out of 5 starsWho said romance was dead?
By Mr. Jonathon T. Beckett on 12 May 2011
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
!!!WARNING.CONTAINS SPOILERS!!!

Anna Robinson(Susan Hampshire) is on holiday in the Channel Islands, escaping from a loveless marriage and trying to make sense of her life. There she meets tall, handsome pilot Hugh Dabernon(Michael Petrovitch) and immediately falls head over heels in love. With Hugh's only surviving family member, his brother George(Frank Finlay), being negative towards their relationship, the couple elope to Scotland. However, tragedy strikes when Hugh collapses whilst running across the beach. The local Doctor pronouncing him dead gives a heart defect as the cause of death. That night, Hugh returns to Anna. It seems he took his vow to never leave her very seriously indeed. Anna immediatly returns to Jersey with Hugh, but finds that being in love with a walking corpse can have serious drawbacks....
I find this film, finally getting a decent dvd release through Odeon Entertainment, to be rather wonderful. It has a rather stately pace to it, in fact there are periods when nothing much happens at all, but accept it for what it is, a real mood piece dripping with doom laden atmosphere, and you will find much to enjoy.
Starting off as a love story, the film mutates into both a straightforward ghost story and a variation on 'The Monkey's Paw' during its running time. Not very horrifying, although there are a couple of disturbing scenes as Hugh starts to decay, it never drags thanks to some stunning cinematography and a widly erratic music score, perfect as a companion piece for the schizophrenic proceedings onscreen. The two leads are a bit bland at times, although this could be explained by Anna trying to grieve, and Hugh being rather dead.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsUncomfortable Jersey!
By fegMANIA! VINE VOICE on 25 July 2008
Format: DVD
Here's an oddity. As with many of Odeon's laudable "Best Of British Collection" , the fact that this little-seen film is available on DVD at all makes up for the picture quality, which in this case tends to deteriorate as it goes along. Even so, this 'bare-bones' release is still a marked improvement on the 1979 rental VHS and it shouldn't distract too much from the film itself, especially for anybody seeing this for the first time.

In the film's favour are its dismal and genuinely unsettling atmosphere, its haunting musical score and what might be Susan Hampshire's finest performance on celluloid (especially in the 'Scottish beach scenes' from which the cover image is taken.) By way of contrast, certain other cast members must have been left picking splinters from their teeth well into 1973 and the film is further let down by a narrative that's something of a structural mess. It feels as though quite a few scenes might have been lopped out at the editing stage, in true "Wicker Man" style.

Speaking of which, this DVD still classes the film as a horror, which might raise the hopes of genre fans a touch too high: it's primarily a glum, contemporary love story that goes wrong in a ghastly way, and while there's certainly a zombie present, devotees of other Tigon films available on DVD could be disappointed. The horror, where it comes, is disturbingly real. It's emotional as well as physical horror that the audience is asked to imagine, and that's another of the film's strengths.

All in all, it's a very welcome addition to Odeon's range; one for the connoisseurs and the curious.

5.0 out of 5 starsBeautiful., poetic, and very sad. Certainly worth seeing if you like quiet, soulful movies that make you think.
By Music Lover. on 1 Sept. 2009
Format: DVD
Story about a love that transcends death.
Beautfully filmed. (The picture quality was fine on my copy).
Saw it on tv once and never forgot it. I found it even better than I remembered.
Basically, the story is: a married woman goes on holiday alone to escape from a loveless marriage and meets and falls in love with an attractive young man, who tragically dies, and she cannot accept it and begs him to come back to her, and his love for her somehow transcends death; which is fine to begin with, but then she decides she wants to be free and probably wishes she hadn't got him back, or at least not in the way it turned out, which is the tragedy of the story.

Should be avoided by all those whose idea of a 'good' movie is constant shouting, noise, car chases and guns blazing!

Susan Hampshire and Michael Petrovitch as the main leads are brilliant in their portrayal of the doomed lovers and appear utterly believable as a couple truly in love.

ps. Doctor Who fans may be interested to note that the movie features Michael Craze, who played companion Ben in the Hartnell/Troughton era.

4.0 out of 5 starsALL OR NOTHING
By Andrew Cripps on 23 May 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
An unusual film. It works and it doesn't work - The acting performances are all GOOD, the storyline unplausable and yet somehow Believable because of the actors giving an IFFY script some UMPF !
This film seem to be Confused because it starts of as clearly A Love Story, what then what happens when the lovers leave the brothers house is more than a little mad and the writing at this point is I reckon not well thought out or at all cohesive, however the film seems to work in segments and as daft as the ultimate scenario turns out to be and at times the filming and cutting is just dreadful - IT STILL WORKS AND HAS A HAUNTING QUALITY TO IT WHICH SEEMS TO BE SAYING THAT YOU CAN MAKE ANYTHING HAPPEN IF YOU REALLY WANT IT TO HAPPEN BAD ENOUGH AND IF YOU ARE PREPARED TO PAY THE PRICE FOR IT TO HAPPEN !! - Supernatural is it's goal and I would say that the film achieves that in a single minded effortless way!
