    Alistair Maclean always could pen a good a crime thriller, and his adaptation of his own novel lends much to this, otherwise, rather lacklustre production. It stars Anthony Hopkins as an agent who is despatched by Robert Morley ("Sir Arthur") to investigate the loss of a ship off the Northern coast of Scotland. Once he arrives in this remote coastal community, he quickly discovers his task to be quite perilous - something is amiss. Shortly afterwards, he encounters the cruising millionaire "Sir Anthony Skouras" (Jack Hawkins) and open hostility towards him begins. Sadly, neither Morley nor Hawk...
