Winston (Poldark) Graham's story (from his own novel) has a partially blind man (David Farrar) in Nice, running into a beautiful girl (Nadia Gray) and dodgy goings-on, ending with a murder. Returning to London he has his eyesight restored, then travels back to sort out what's afoot, finds smuggling by former Resistance, and a brother-sister relationship that's perverse.
Not bad, but despite the talent to hand (Guy Green, Ernest Steward, John Seabourne) it doesn't quite work. I'm not sure the writing is quite there, nor the casting - the romantic aspect between the two doesn't really come off.
