clip - Speedo scene! (courtesy of RJDoll2) This drama series originally was shown as a five-part, five-hour but was condensed to 103 minutes for video release under the title The Secret of Seagull Island. After airing on British TV, the re-edited Seagull Island was also shown theatrically in Italy under the title L'Isola del Gabbiano. -- BFI database & All Movie Guide. Synopsis courtesy of RJDoll2: Beginning with his first appearance in this film in the infamous speedo scene, Jeremy Brett gives a superb performance as the tormented Briton, David Malcolm. His suave portrayal is enough to make any Brettish fan weak in the knees. The story unfolds as Barbara (Prunella Ransome), begins searching for her blind sister, Maryann. Feigning blindness, Barbara meets the reclusive David and returns with him to his island, L'Isola del Gabbiano. After the apparent demise of his wife and son, David struggles to rebuild his life. Following a bizarre occurrence, David is compelled to inform Barbara that his son -- who also has a penchant for blind girls -- is not dead. The burning question in this movie is whether David is the hero or the villain. Jeremy skillfully keeps the viewer guessing. High drama ensues in what could be considered a rather odd film, allowing the multifaceted talents of Jeremy Brett to shine. The ending is not to be missed. |
