The director Vernon Sewell clearly had a great love of the sea and he made a number of films featuring it.This is a rather threadbare production featuring escaped criminals who arrive on a lighthouse whilst escaping from a bank robbery.They gradually take it over with the help of the crew except for the Captain,who refuses to be a part of the escape.Eventually he is killed.The crew and robbers make their escape in a dinghy.However they fall out and in the end only 2 are left.It is a fairly average second feature of its era and I suppose its main asset is its brevity.Maybe not one of Hammeers best efforts but quite entertaining at times.
