Very Entertaining
Highly enjoyable movie in which Kirk Douglas is a lighthouse keeper on an island at the tip of South America. Yul Brynner plays a blood thirsty Pirate who eventually hunts Kirk Douglas down at this deserted outpost. Very Entertaining tale in which finally, a pirate movie where they arnt all singing and dancing.
Buyer Beware!!!!
I purchased this dvd From Amazon for $14.00 with Prime delivery because it said it was an all region NTSC DVD. What arrived was an all region PAL version which is no good to me here in New York, I returned it and told them to send the NTSC version.
Lo and behold, a second one arrived 2 days later and it was the PAL version DVD.
Apparantly the cheap version of this DVD is only released in the PAL format and Amazon needs to change the information on that page to read PAL instead of NTSC.
The NTSC version released by Image entertainment is out of print and only sold by 3rd party Amazon sellers for ridiculous prices (New condition from $60 plus dollars and used from $46 dollars on up.) Highway robbery if you ask me, especially if a movie is not all that great and not filmed in America even though it stars Kirk Douglas, Yul Brynner and Samantha Eggar.
Cmon Amazon, get your website information straight so that people do not order the wrong format.
Atmospheric Tale of Adventure from Jules Verne
THE LIGHT AT THE EDGE OF THE WORLD is a great atmospheric adventure tale based on the novel "Le Phare du bout du monde" by Jules Verne. This film rather Gothic in nature has an island Lighthouse keeper (Kirk Douglas) up against a pirate (Yul Brynner) seeking him out of the past. A beautiful score composed by Piero Piccioni.
