Based on the book by Ken Follett, this 1981 WW2 thriller/romance holds up pretty well past its 40th anniversary. Donald Sutherland is great as a Nazi spy masquerading as an Englishman who wonders into the life of unhappy bride Kate Nelligan on the barren, aptly named Storm Island. George Lucas hired director Richard Marquand to direct 1983's 'Return of the Jedi" after seeing his work here. Good stuff. B
