THE LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD - 1971 - YUL BRYNNER - KIRK DOUGLAS - RARE DVD - COLOR
Product Description
1865. Will Denton (Kirk Douglas) tends a light-house at the tip of Tierra del Fuego, contented to be away from the problems of civilization, and quickly adjusting to his new supervisor, Captain Moriz (Fernando Rey). But a shipload of utterly evil pirates show up, murder everyone they can find, and extinguish the light. They're wreckers, brigands who mislead ships into the rocks to loot the cargo and prey upon the victims. Their leader Captain Jonathan Kongre (Yul Brynner) is a diabolical fiend. Will hides out in the rocks but cannot keep himself from striking back: he saves innocent survivor Montefiore (Renato Salvatori) from the pirates' massacre, and together they wage a game of cat and mouse against Kongre and his cutthroats. Kongre breaks his own rule by keeping one captive alive - a beautiful Englishwoman named Arabella (Samantha Eggar). When Denton realizes she's there, the rules of the game change radically.
