Pandora and the Flying Dutchman

Men will die for her, sacrifice their dreams for her, even kill for her.But, will Pandora give her life for the man she loves?

Pandora And The Flying Dutchman is producer/director Albert Lewin's (The Picture Of Dorian Grey - 1945) hauntingly romantic film of the famed legend of The Flying Dutchman.

In one of the most sensually rich performances of her career, Ava Gardner stars as Pandora Reynolds, a nightclub singer on vacation in Spain, with whom all men fall hopelessly in love.But Pandora, never having known true love, is indifferent to her suitor's affections.Until, one evening, she swims out to a mysterious yacht and meets its captain - a Dutchman named Hendrick van der Zee (James Mason).

Hailed for its brilliant Technicolor cinematography by Jack Cardiff (Academy Award winner, Black Narcissus and The Red Shoes), and with impressive production design by John Bryan (Academy Award winner, Great Expectations), Pandora And The Flying Dutchman remains a wonderfully enigmatic and compelling movie.
