The Sailor Who Fell from Grace with the Sea
When an English widow, Anne (Sarah Miles, Ryan’s Daughter) falls in love with a dashing American sailor (singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson), her jealous teenage son goes to horrific lengths to restore the status quo.
Director: Lewis John Carlino
Overview
An English widow, Anne (Sarah Miles, Ryan’s Daughter) falls in love when a dashing American sailor (singer-songwriter Kris Kristofferson) arrives into their small port town for a brief stopover. Her 13-year-old son Jonathan is at first shy, and then fascinated by Jim, a new heroic father-figure. However, as he watches his mother transform into a spirited, passionate woman, he comes to deeply distrust the sailor, encouraged by his gang of friends led by the sinister “Chief”. When Jim threatens to intrude on their lives permanently, the boy and his gang plot to remove him for good.
Adapted from Yukio Mishima’s novel, this was screenwriter Lewis John Carlino’s debut directorial feature.
