There are three reasons to watch this tidy

There are three reasons to watch this tidy little piece of melodrama. Ava Gardner (obviously) is one. James Mason is the other. And the third is the director, Albert Lewin. Gardner needs little said, it's all been said before and by more able reviewers than me. James Mason seems rather forgotten these days, when scripts need to be peppered with curses and suchlike filth that you'd not want your granny to be subjected to... He's been held to be a special kind of genius, with a way of trying to blend poetic themes into dialogue in a way that others shy away from. (There may be sound reasons for that omission...) The plot isn't complex and the storytelling is straightforward and won't strain your little grey cells much. However, I'm not sure I agree with Ava Gardner's being here cast. In an English film shot nowhere near the USA, why is it so needful to cast a Hollywood star like Gardner? Had the U.K. no beauties capable of turning a man's mind upside down with her deadly allure?? What about Audrey Hepburn? In among all these English folk she'd have fitted right in. Guessing it's to do with financing. Backers believe that US audiences are so dumb that they'll not have heard of Brit actors/actresses, and funding is made available if an American star is cast. It's no more than protectionism, and when there were rules agin the same thing happening t'other way round, American systems are not equal opportunity. The performances are fine, in line with the tenor of the production. it's a pleasant way to pass a typical movie length slug of your life if you've nothing more pressing at hand. The story is a concocted blend of an old tale of a dutch skipper who is doomed to sail the seven seas etc etc - for ever. And Pandora is the interfering female in greek myths who is responsible for loosing all the evils that plague mankind. That latter doesn't here emerge, but she sure is trouble for the men whom she winds around her little finger with ease, using them for entertainment and casting them aside when pulling their strings is no longer novel. Of Course they come together - if the title isn't an inbuilt spoiler then I'm- a Dutchman. And it's the ensuing complications that make the story. It's hardly tough to foretell the outcome and - surprise! - there's no surprises with its unfolding.
