Pandora Reynolds (Ava Gardner) is the admired star of a small group of Anglo-American expatriates in the small Spanish port of Esperanza (the film was shot in Tossa de Mar where they have erected a statue of Gardner on the hill overlooking the towns main beach). All the men love her (or think they do), but Pandora is unable to love anyone but herself, and destroys her admirers with the demands she makes on them, claiming that the measure of love is how much you are willing to sacrifice. One day, the Dutch captain Hendrick van der Zee (James Mason) arrives in Esperanza. Pandora swims out to his yacht and finds him painting a picture of her. Shortly afterwards, Pandora learns that Hendrick van der Zee is, in fact, The Flying Dutchman. Read more
