Lightship

The Lightship is a 1985 American drama film directed by Jerzy Skolimowski. The film stars Klaus Maria Brandauer and Robert Duvall, with early appearances by Arliss Howard and William Forsythe. The film is based on the novella "Das Feuerschiff" ("The Lightship" in German) by German author Siegfried Lenz which had previously been made into a German film of the same title in 1963. The film was the last made by CBS Theatrical Films, which went out of business in November 1985. The film was distributed by Castle Hill Productions just nine months after the closure of the studio.
