Wissenswertes
There were at least two previous attempts to bring David Garnett's source novella to the screen, by Bernhard Wicki in the 1930s and by William Wyler in the 1950s. Thanks in part to the story's themes of racism and mixed marriage, both failed to secure sufficient funds.

Incredible how it's so unknown - am I alone in loving it ?

I saw and recorded this film many years ago off the French TV and would dearly like to have it on DVD so as to have the original English audio as I cordially detest films dubbed into foreign languages ! Unfortunately, the film seems to be unknown on all counts, indeed I have not till now found any other commentary in IMDB about it !! Set in beautiful Dorset ( England ), it is about a sailor in the 19th century who returns home to his village from travels accross the world accompanied by his beautiful African wife. The sight of a black person at that time in a Dorset village was obviously something of a novelty and engenders both love and hate according to which villager we are talking about. Beautifully filmed, a tearful and very emotional story. It deserves to be more publicized and re-born on DVD for the good of all !
