It has been many years since I saw this film and it does not appear to have ever been released in home-viewing format. From my memory the action takes place on a river in Eastern England (the Orwell in fact) at a small village (Pin Mill) and concerns the usual good guys and bad guys in a sailing race aboard barges. The plot is not unusual with anticipated cheating and other shenanigans, but the good buys win the race and all live happily ever after. Made soon after the end of World War II, this was a pleasant Sunday afternoon at the cinema allowing the citizenry of U.K., who were still under some rationing even in 1950, a little escapism. It did the job admirably. I would love to find a copy, somewhere, somehow.
