  Moonfleet: Music composed and conducted by Miklós Rózsa: Film Music on the Web CD Reviews February 2004   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Moonfleet was a 1955 MGM adventure concerning smuggling in the titular (fictional) Dorsetshire (today shortened to Dorset) coastal village.
Moonfleet -- set in 1757 Dorsetshire -- follows an orphaned boy (Jon Whitely), who is placed in the custody of a cultured rogue (Granger) only to find his would-be caretaker in league with smugglers.

Moonfleet was shot almost completely in the controlled environment of the studio, which allowed for the baroque compositions and stylized settings Lang was aiming for, and which give the film its distinctively "dreary" flavor.

 Moonfleet by J. Meade Flakner .: BookPleasures.com
The southern coast of England is the historical home of goods smuggled across the English Channel from continental Europe; it is a place where the fierce seas and the fiercer King's Men combine to make the wrecker's life a short and dangerous one.
The title is derived from the village that gives rise to our hero, John Trenchard, who has lived in some peace with his aunt before being inducted into the life of the wreckers.
Nineteenth century fiction can be marked by a certain stodginess of style and occasional opacity — especially when, as in the case of Moonfleet, the settings are so redolent of darkness and claustrophobia — even during summer days, it seems that storms and omens cloud the skies.

 Miradas de Cine nº 48 - Estudio Fritz Lang (y III) - "Moonfleet" (1955)
Frecuentemente relegada a la categoría de obra menor o considerada un forzado y rutinario compromiso de estudio, Los contrabandistas de Moonfleet (Moonfleet, 1955) no goza del prestigio asociado a la mayor parte de la obra de Fritz Lang (especialmente de su etapa alemana).
El mar tiene gran importancia en la acción de Moonfleet: es el medio que proporciona la mercancía a los contrabandistas, es el lugar frente al que tiene lugar una decisiva traición a Jeremy Fox y donde éste inicia su viaje final a bordo de un bote tras despedirse del joven y leal John.
Lugares todos ellos que otorgan más presencia a los muertos que a los vivos y donde, sin embargo, el pequeño John (descendiente de la amante de Jeremy, así como del temible Barbarroja) aprenderá las lecciones de la valentía y la amistad, desvelando para ello misterios largamente ocultos.
