Attenborough, in his younger years, gives a strong performance in this early post-war film, where the art of working with miniatures is fully utilized. The transition from a glorious wartime life to a more difficult civilian existence leads to a whole new seafaring life, with all its attendant consequences. Here too, the great corrupting force remains off-screen and is portrayed by Culver. Each step deeper into crime leads to a surprising opposition from a single powerful force. Well-structured, beautiful romance. 3.2*
