Watching this movie really put me on edge. So many characters needed a good smack up side the head. The rock-throwing children for being so cruel, the sadistic sailors for being such scum, the church folk for being such insensitive hypocrites, Jan for being selfish and not thinking of what trouble he is encouraging his wife to get into, and most of all, Bess for being so emotionally immature, naive, and crazy. Honorable mention goes to the cameraman who was often out of focus and shaky. This film could have used some trimming but despite several flaws contained a thought-provoking story.
