"When Eight Bells Toll" is a 1971 action film set in Scotland, based on upon Scottish author Alistair MacLean's 1965 novel of the same name.
Plot
British Treasury secret agent Phillip Calvert (Anthony Hopkins) is sent to investigate the hijacking of five cargo ships in the Irish Sea, tracking the latest hijacked ship - the "Nantesville", carrying £8 million in gold bullion - to the Scottish Highlands and the sleepy port town of "Torbay" on the "Isle of Torbay" (patterned after Tobermory, on the Isle of Mull). Posing as marine biologists, Calvert and his partner Hunslett (Corin Redgrave) find something fishy and hostile among the Scottish inhabitants. They also suspect that Cypriot tycoon and shipping magnate Sir Anthony Skouras (Jack Hawkins), who is anchored off the coast in his luxury yacht "Shangri-La", may be behind the pirating of the gold bullion.
Operating out of his yacht "Firecrest", Calvert is joined by Skouros' wife, Charlotte (Nathalie Delon), and by his boss Sir Arthur Arnford-Jason, known as "Uncle Arthur" (Robert Morley).
