1951 film by Albert Lewin

Pandora and the Flying Dutchman is a 1951 British Technicolor romantic fantasy drama film written and directed by Albert Lewin. The screenplay is based on legend of the Flying Dutchman. The film stars James Mason and Ava Gardner in the title roles, with Nigel Patrick, Sheila Sim, Harold Warrender, Mario Cabré and Marius Goring supporting.

Albert Lewin, an MGM producer at the time, was able to produce Pandora due to the postponement of Quo Vadis in 1949. The film includes a number of literary references, including Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach", The Rubaiyat, and Ernest Hemingway's 1926 novel The Sun Also Rises. It was primarily filmed in Tossa de Mar, on the Costa Brava in Catalonia, Spain. The land record speed scenes were shot at Pendine Sands in Wales. In Tossa de Mar, a statue of Gardner was erected in 1996 on the hill overlooking the town's main beach. The film is mostly spoken in English, but some characters speak Catalan (the local fishermen at the beginning of the film) and Spanish (the bullfighter's entourage). Artist Man Ray, a friend of Albert Lewin, produced some sets for Pandora. He created particular cubist style chess pieces and several paintings seen in the film, notably the surrealist scene in the De Chirico fashion. In the United States, Metro Goldwyn Mayer delayed the film until the release of Gardner's star making performance in Show Boat (1951). The tactic proved effective, as Show Boat solidified her status as a rapidly rising star. A digitally restored version of the film was released in February 2020.

According to MGM records, Pandora and the Flying Dutchman earned $1,247,000 in the US and Canada and $354,000 elsewhere. The film was one of the most popular films at the British box office 1951. Howard Thompson, of The New York Times, gave the film a mixed review upon release. It holds a rating of 67% on Rotten Tomatoes based on 33 reviews.
