I stumbled on this film while researching Donald Sutherland. I have just watched the 1981 Juniper Films version on an MGM DVD copyright 2000. I enjoyed the film and thought it well worth watching. It was beautifully filmed and very well-acted. I enjoyed it enough to watch again in the future. According to what I'm reading here at the IMDb, there exist several versions with different endings. The final scene in this version must have been a not-too-carefully-done reverse. It is as if one is flying away from the beach and up and around the lighthouse. Why reversed? Because if you look carefully, smoke is going *down* the chimney!
