Synopsis

In 1930, singer Pandora Reynolds, gorgeous, enigmatic, and fascinated by danger and destruction, has the men of a small Spanish town in despair. Just when race driver Stephen Cameron thinks he’s won her, a mysterious yacht appears in the bay whose eerie captain may be the legendary Flying Dutchman.

Our take

A Technicolor fever dream of impossible love, heady folk mythology, and heartstopping color, Albert Lewin’s vivid surrealist fairytale—starring a luminous Ava Gardner—is unlike any other. Lensed by Jack Cardiff and with stage sets by Man Ray, enjoy the visual feast in a ravishing recent restoration.
