A dreamy, timeless romance based on the legend of the Flying Dutchman features sumptuous color cinematography by Jack Cardiff. Ava Gardner plays Pandora Reynolds, a woman who has never fallen in love— but one who men kill and die for. When she meets dashing and mysterious ship’s captain Hendrik van der Zee, he pushes her to commit the ultimate act of love.
