Powell and Mason teamed up to produce this idyll, set on an island off the Great Barrier Reef, and starring Mason as a painter happily on leave from the city and a young, naked Helen Mirren as the local girl who becomes his model and muse. Whether the scenery on view is Dame Helen or Dunk Island, it sure is nice to look at. Mirren's first movie, and Powell's last.
