Lucy (Amanda Donohoe) is half Gerald's age. She has a low-level office job (clerk?) for Inland Revenue that doesn't present much opportunity or earn her a great deal of respect. She has not been given the chance to come into her own, and ... hasn't really found herself.

Oliver Reed and Amanda Donohoe star here in Nicolas Roeg's interpretation of the real-life experiences of Lucy Irvine, who replied to a newspaper advert from Gerald Kingsland for a woman to join him for a year on a desert island. It's essentially an excuse for Reed and Donohoe to get their kit off, but both cope well with their roles as the castaway and the sex-mad middle-aged man who is her companion. However, in the end you can't help feeling that this is just a lot of nudity (though Reed's is luckily often hidden by well-positioned foliage) used to spice up a tale of two selfish people who probably deserved each other.
