Dame Helen Mirren – Age of Consent

This comedic drama is directed by Michael Powell, based on Norman Lindsay’s novel. A disheveled and disillusioned Australian painter, Bradley Morahan, played by James Mason, decides to retreat from New York City to his homeland to find inspiration and revive his waning creativity. Settling on the shore of a small island on the Great Barrier Reef, the elderly artist has a fortuitous encounter with bombshell young islander, Cora, a nubile Helen Mirren in her first major role. As a gorgeous beach babe, she becomes his model and muse. Helen Mirren as a hot young thing does indeed recharge Bradley’s creative batteries!
