Philip remembers when he escaped England to try and find peace on a Greek island.

Philip Tremayne looks back on life on a Greek island in the 1960s.  All was quiet until Jennifer arrived.  Stars Ronald Pickup.

It was not just the sunshine and cheap wine that brought Philip Tremayne to Greece in the early 1960s.  He needed somewhere to write and he wanted to distance himself from past events.
