Movie Haiku:Romantic tale based on a minor Joseph Conrad novella. Smoldering chemistry between two relatively unknown leads, stalwart support from veterans Kathy Bates & Ian McKellan, & an gorgeous score by John Barry all suffice for the home viewer denied access to the full beautify of the Cornwall coast on wide-screen.
