This is a region-free DVD-R without case or artwork.

Widescreen. Playwright Christopher Isherwood and co-writer/director Tony Richardson adapted the novel by Marguerite Duras into this romantic drama. Jeanne Moreau plays Anna, a Frenchwoman of means who experienced fleeting true love with a sailor many years before. In the interim, her husband killed himself and left Anna his vast fortune, and now she is sailing from port to seedy port, searching the world over in vain for her long-lost sailor. In the meantime, Alan (Ian Bannen), a young Englishman, argues with his girlfriend Sheila (Vanessa Redgrave), and leaves her. Alan encounters Anna and, intrigued, joins her on her heartbreaking quest, which takes them aboard Anna's sailboat to Africa and Greece...

Reviewer: Tom Bullock from San Francisco, CA United States  
I recall have seen this film when it was first released in the 60s, and never anywhere after that.  Years later I, as a film editor, once put together a director's clip retro for Tony Richardson for a film festival.  Sitting next to one of his associates while the retro was screening, I asked him what had happened to "Sailor...", that I'd been searching in vain for it ever since, and why I couldn't even get a clip from it to include in the program.  He mumbled something re: "legal hassles", and that was it.

And now, many more years later, I finally get to see it again via your DVD release!  Extremely fine!  This rather strange, picaresque romantic drama has always been
well worth experiencing. Thank you...

Reviewer: Bert, New York from New York, NY United States  
Richardson's riskiest film. Based on the novel by Duras, it can be seen as either pretentious or profound. Either way, I find it tantalizing.
