"I hoped your intelligence would eventually govern your behaviour"

Warning: Spoilers
A Cornish squire tries to curb the activities of the local smugglers and even more so the deadly deeds of the shipping wreckers. Though there is more to the plot than that. The squire Trevenyan is played by Peter Cushing and he is the best thing in the film. The film itself is decent enough but needed much more blood and thunder. In good acting support though are Bernard Lee as the villainous bearded Black John, Liz Fraser as the tavern girl Betty, Juma as.... Juma, George Coulouris as François Lejeune and the luminous June Thorburn as Jenny, who sadly isn't in the film much. The exterior locations are pretty, South Wales standing in nicely for Cornwall. The film as a whole though could have been better.
