Well respected actress in an early screen appearance., 18 October 2000
Author: JOHN L. SCHINDEL (redhazervn@hotmail.com) from Suburban Chicago

Helen Mirren was a member of the Royal Shakespeare Company when she travelled to Australia to appear in this film. Alongside veteran actor James Mason, she cavorts on the sunny beaches of tropical Queensland. This is a somewhat off-beat movie, but it has some very sensuous scenes of MS Mirren (Cora) posing as an artist's model, au natural.
