Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThis movie was the first true independent production with the BBC. Keith Williams, BBC Head of Plays, Ronnie Marsh, the BBC Head of Co-Production worked with Producer David Wilkinson to pioneer the "Reverse Co-Production". The BBC provided the crew, equipment and post-production services. Wilkinson raised his funding from the Prudential Assurance, which paid for the actors, actresses, extras, screenplay, rights to the novel, music, and musicians. Colin Gregg Films then owned the copyright and world rights to the movie. The BBC had just two U.K. showings of the movie. It was one of four television movies nominated in 1983 for a BAFTA award.

Featured review
This is a most excellent film, and it is great to see that the BBC choose the correct setting to film, Godrevy Lighthouse is a beautiful site and Godrevy itself a magical place, I visit it at least twice a week, and you can feel Miss Woolf's magical writing coming alive.
Yes it may be a little slow, but life has always been more laid back here, we the Cornish people see no reason for rushing around and still getting nowhere, take a tip from the film and the novel.
Sit back and enjoy life as it really should be, no mobiles, no ratrace. Good luck and try sometime in your life to visit Godrevy, its in Cornwall, near Gwithian, main town Hayle, in the UK look us up on the map.
