Thunder Rock (1942)
An underrated film, stagey but fascinating

An adaptation of a stage play, this film shows that fact, but is never less than interesting. Michael Redgrave plays a writer who tries to reveal what is happening in Nazi Germany and Fascist Italy, but is not allowed to do so by the papers for whom he writes. Disillusioned, he gives up and retires to a lighthouse in the Great Lakes. There he meets the ghosts of travellers shipwrecked in a storm many years before. He is eventually persuaded to try to fight fascism again and returns to the world. The acting is excellent, particularly by Redgrave himself and James Mason.
