Only one reason to view this silly movie.......


Shirley Eaton.....wow! She looks astonishingly beautiful in EastmanColor.

The flip side of fear is understanding.

For me the only reason is to view Dirk Bogarde.

I think that there are actually two reasons to watch it. The one given (my fancy of choice is the gorgeous Muriel Pavlow) and the very fact that it is indeed silly. It's meant to be. It's not serious, just a bit of non-taxing fluff. There are no messages, just sit back with a few beers on a rainy evening and enjoy. Got that? There are plenty of more meaningful movies to watch when you're in the right mood and no-one's forcing you to watch this one so just take it for what it is.

The beautiful girl on the boat (actress Junia Crawford married a Lord but died at 38)...Dilys Laye as Dr Hatchet's sexy and predatory wife...Anne Heywood as Emerald....plenty of reasons to watch it!
