Das Mädchen vom Korallenriff (1969)
Maler Bradley Morhan (James Mason) geht der Rummel um seine Person auf die Nerven. Er kehrt New York den Rücken. Auf einer Insel im australischen Great Barrier Reef will der Künstler zu sich und zur Malerei zurückfinden. Natur und neue Nachbarn liefern ihm das gewünschte Kontrastprogramm: etwa die alte Jungfer Isabel und die zänkische Greisin Ryan, oder deren Enkelin Cora (Helen Mirren in ihrem Filmdebüt). Die junge Frau inspiriert Bradley zu neuen Arbeiten. Bevor sich Muse und Maler den finalen Filmkuss geben dürfen, wollen jedoch einige Probleme bewältigt sein…
