Thunderstorm (also known as Tormenta) is a 1956 British drama film directed by John Guillermin and starring Carlos Thompson, Linda Christian, and Charles Korvin.[2] It was made by British Lion Films.

Plot summary

Maria is a mysterious beautiful girl discovered unconscious and alone on board a small damaged yacht at sea. A group of fishermen, including Diego, take Maria back to the nearest coastal Spanish fishing village for her to recover and offer to repair her small yacht.

All of the men in the village are infatuated with Maria, but the women view her with jealousy and suspicion, saying that she is a curse on their village and blaming her for the recent lack of fish on which the village solely relies. When Maria is attacked by a mob of village women tearing her hair and clothes and bruising her, the local Padre saves her. The film ends with Maria quietly leaving by setting out to sea in her repaired small yacht with Diego watching from the small harbour.

Cast

Production

In April 1955 it was announced the film would be made by Hemisphere Productions, the company of Mike Frankovich.[3] Filming would take place in London and Spain with Carlos Thompson and Linda Christian starring. Allied Artists were to distribute in the western hemisphere, British Lion in England and Columbia elsewhere. The script was to be by Geoffrey Holmes (the nom de plume for Daniel Mainwaring).[4]

The official producer was Binnie Barnes and Victor Pahlen.[5]

It was John Guillermin's return to features after directing TV for a time.[6]

Reception

The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "John Guillermin perceptively evokes the enclosed life of a Spanish fishing village and tells his simple tale with economy and precision, giving it a lifelike air of improvisation. The non-Spanish leading players fit convincingly into the background and give persuasive, well-contrasted performances. This is a refreshingly individual and unpretentious production."[7]

Variety wrote: "[the] mood is a bit heavy, but goes with the story melodramatics."[8]
