With Frank Finlay as Albert, Nicola Pagett as Mary, T.P. McKenna as Joe Katz and Anthony Corlan as Alec

A liner from South Africa is the setting for this powerful three-cornered drama. Alec, a student architect from Cape Town, and his coloured girl-friend, Mary, are leaving for the bigger world of London.
Sharing a cabin with Alec is Albert, a strange and magnetic Austrian. While Alec is an innocent, Albert has experienced everything.
He is played by Frank Finlay, whose most recent BBCtv appearance was as Brutus in Julius Caesar, and who has recently filmed Cromwell and The Molly Maguires.
