"Watching this film is like entering a strange and wonderful dream." MARTIN SCORSESE

"Pandora and The Flying Dutchman is one of the most beautiful films ever made." ALLAN HUNTER

Pandora and The Flying Dutchman is writer, producer and director Albert Lewin's lushly romantic Technicolor™ visualisation of the often-told legend of the sea. A glamorous Ava Gardner is Pandora, who falls hard for the charismatic James Mason as Hendrik, a 17th-century seaman eternally condemned to sail the oceans. Unavailable theatrically for many years and never available on Home Entertainment, the film has now been beautifully restored.

Notes: UK theatrical re-release - 14th May 2010
Cinematography by Jack Cardiff - subject of a recent retrospective at BFI Southbank
