Kieron Moore, a reluctant hero, comes to the Outward Bound Sea School in Wales - a real institute - to teach sailing to the pupils. He doesn't feel up to the tasks, unsure of what, if anything, they're supposed to learn from him. Can he find a purpose and love with Sarah Lawson?
It's an interesting drama of people finding out who and what they are, not only youngsters but adult. Shot in Eastmancolor, the copy I saw showed the usual unfortunate color degradation that the chemical processes do; water is sometimes blue, sometimes green, and sometimes a dark mustard yellow. The performances are good, and the story, although in many ways standard, is bolstered by a heroic score by Antony Hopkins.
