A Little Piece of Sunshine

1990 · 96 min

A slow, talky political mystery that unfolds with procedural calm on a sunlit island, more intrigue than action.

Genres
Crime, Drama, Tv movie
Overview
Sunshine, an idyllic and almost forgotten island under British rule, is shortly to become independent. But a few days before this event is to take place, the British governor of the island is shot. Her Majesty's secret service is called in and Sam McCready asks Desmond Hannah of Scotland Yard to take charge of the case.
