A very pleasant film directed by Peter Crane who clearly had some ability, there is a lovely feel about it. The only problem is that the story is so slight although there may be something more going on. I loved the cold and winter time in deserted Eastbourne and the empty hotel, except for one other, a young girl and himself and a gun. There is also a memory of his time there as a child and are great shots of Beachy Head. There is something about the film that has a dream like quality, the hundreds of candles lighted and only the couple with fish and chips. Keith Michell does very well and his best days were with TV and movies in the 60s. Angharad Rees was also splendid and most with her, again film and TV although mainly in the 70s.
