Sullivan’s Possession Lake was a rising star when this was made, and it is clear that the story was engineered to highlight the charm of whoever starred. The previous year she did well in “Sullivan’s Travels”, something of a touchstone in film history. It was...

A riches to rags story. If only he could remember it.
Filmmaker(s): Rob Greenberg

A spoiled, wealthy yacht owner is thrown overboard and becomes the target of revenge from his mistreated employee.

Lovers of the Arctic Circle (1998)
Destiny cannot be denied.
