A television version of Robert Ardrey's play.
The action takes place between sunset and sunrise inside Thunder Rock Lighthouse, Lake Michigan.
Time, the present
Stephen Murray as Charleston, the lightkeeper, and Margo Lorenz as Melanie Kurtz. They share a love which spans a hundred years
Charleston, the American newspaper man whose mind is the heart of this matter, is a man who has taken escapism to extremes. Disillusioned, indignant and cynical, he has withdrawn from a world divided by ideologies and hounded by the threat of total war, and has taken a job as keeper of a lonely lighthouse on the rocks of Lake Michigan. There, in eerie solitude, he creates his own strange world, bringing to life through his imagination the immigrant victims of a shipwreck a hundred years before. The problem he faces -and eventually resolves in introspective argument with his ghostly but dramatically lively companions-is how far, if at all, the individual is responsible for the fate of his generation. The play, written for the Group Theatre of America in 1939, has its terms of reference brought up to date in this new television adaptation, and its message is perhaps even more urgent and compelling than before.
