And the Sea Will Tell

About This Movie

And the Sea Will Tell is an intriguing blend of crime and drama, directed by Tommy Lee Wallace, who gives it a distinctively moody atmosphere. The film unfolds slowly, allowing the tension to simmer while we get to know the characters, especially the wealthy couple played by James Brolin and Deidre Hall. The performances by Hart Bochner and Rachel Ward as the suspects add a layer of complexity, showcasing a clash of lifestyles. The practical effects, though modest, contribute to the film's gritty feel, and the South American setting is effectively atmospheric. It captures that early '90s television vibe, with a certain earnestness that's sometimes missing in modern fare. It’s worth a watch for collectors interested in lesser-known TV movies that explore darker themes.
