      Guy Thornton: At the risk of being obvious, that is a very peculiar gent. Anyone would think he doesn't want to sell the boat.

      Margaret Thornton: Vessel.

      Guy Thornton: Ship.

    Could have been better
    Minor British movie about a young couple who buy a boat called "Cyclops" despite being warned that it is haunted. There is very little haunting going on here, most of it is in the form of an unexplainable smell on board of cigar smoke. It is heavy on dialogue but very little action, bit of a bore. The only notable thing for me is that it stars Hazel Court, who went on to become a British 1960's scream queen. Missed opportunity here; they should have put a bit more spookiness into it, or perhaps gone down the comedy route.
