6/10

Bruce Campbell" (Dirk Bogarde) inherits his grandfather's land in Canada and is determined to make a go of it. Once he arrives from Scotland, and allied with Barbara Murray and a superb James Robertson Justice, though, he discovers that he faces a few local difficulties. Stanley Baker is prepared to go to any means to drive them from the land so he can build a lucrative hydro-electric dam. This self-adaptation of Hammond Innes' novel is beautifully shot (albeit it in Italy, not Canada) and Bogarde conveys some of the grim determination and persevering spirit of "Campbell" well in the face of this hostility, but the story is presented in just a little too light-weight a fashion with too much chatter and not enough action - until the very end.
