Featured review
Fisherman Thomas Stone (Robert Beatty) loses his job working on the fishing boats because of his limp and lame leg. When he is fixed by a London osteopath (Felix Aylmer) he decides to change profession and study to be an osteopath himself and in the process discovers that he has healing hands.
While the film mostly has some solid aspects, it is alas very naive in its story drive, expecting the audience to believe its premise unreservedly. Mostly filmed in Whitby, Yorkshire that provides some attractive background. Moore Marriott, better known as Harbottle in the Will Hay films is almost unrecognisable as a sailor near the beginning of the film.
