When Eight Bells Toll
Danger runs deeper than the sea bed!
Directed by Étienne Périer
Produced by Winkast Film Productions, Jerry Gershwin-Elliott Kastner
A brisk 1970s spy-thriller built on maritime intrigue and gold heists, driven by plot mechanics and action rather than character depth or emotional resonance.
Phillip Calvert is a British Treasury secret service agent assigned to stop the ruthless pirating of millions in gold bullion off the western coast of the Scottish highlands. His search takes him to the small port town of Torbay on the Isle of Torbay where numerous fishing boats, yachts and people have been mysteriously disappearing. A trail of deceit and subterfuge leads him to Cypriot tycoon and shipping magnate Sir Anthony Skouras and his beautiful wife, Charlotte aboard their luxury yacht anchored off the coast, who may hold the answers to the truth.
