Age of Consent (1969) is the penultimate feature film directed by British film-maker Michael Powell. It was the film debut of Helen Mirren. The screenplay was adapted from the 1935 novel by Norman Lindsay, and is based on him.
Bradley Monahan (James Mason) is an Australian artist who feels he has become jaded by success and life in New York City. He decides that he needs to regain the edge he had as a young artist and returns to Australia to a small island on the Great Barrier Reef.
There he meets the beautiful Cora Ryan (Helen Mirren) and she becomes his muse, posing for him in the equally beautiful surroundings. But there are questions about Cora's age and problems from her grandmother (Neva Carr-Glynn) and Bradley's old friend Nat Kelly (Jack MacGowran).
