There exists an age-old rivalry between the Cornish and Breton fisherfolk, but harbormaster Nat Pomeroy holds a particular grudge - not just for the Bretons' incessant poaching, but for the harbor dues he loses in the process. There is always rivalry between the Cornish and Breton fishermen, but the two factions have a routine ebb and flow of civil hostility until the breach is widened by the announced marriage of a Breton son to a Cornish maiden. It takes the outbreak of World War II to unite the sides against a common enemy, Nazi Germany. —Les Adams <longhorn1939@suddenlink.net> There exists an age-old rivalry between the Cornish and Breton fisherfolk, but harbormaster Nat Pomeroy holds a particular grudge - not just for the Bretons' incessant poaching, but for the harbor dues he loses in the process. Renowned farceur Tom Walls stars alongside French cinematic icon Françoise Rosay in this heart-warming comedy-drama from Ealing Films, made as World War Two was coming to an end but set during its opening months. —Anonymous
