About this product

Product Information

This World War II comedy stars Cary Grant in an uncharacteristic turn as Walter Eckland. Walter is an unshaven bum who inhabits a deserted island in the South Seas. Completely boozed up, unshaven, and badly dressed, Walter is a watcher for Japanese spy planes. An Australian Navy Commander, Frank Houghton (Trevor Howard) has pressed Walter, who once had his own cruiser at the beginning of the war, to become the sole occupant of a strategic watching station. It is into this world that smart and sexy Catherine Frenau (Leslie Caron) is drawn when Walter, en route in a dinghy to rescue another watcher, stumbles on to the schoolteacher and a flock of seven young girls. The girls have been marooned because their pilot was ordered to leave them to rescue the survivors of an abandoned bomber. Ralph Nelson directs shrewdly and keeps the comedy crisp as these eight survivors try to inhabit the same small island without driving each other crazy. The sharp witted Academy Award winning screenplay by Peter Stone and Frank Tarloff, is based on a story by S.H. Barnett.

  • Great humorous romance movie

    I love the characters. Total opposites are trapped together but end up in love. Sort of a “Hallmark movie “ but with humor and a wartime setting included.

  • Goood for you g and old?

    This is a hilarious romantic comedy starring Cary Grant. Grant does not disappoint. I think the female is Leslie Caron. Grant and Caron verbally spar throughout. It is a war movie as a backdrop and Grant goes to the island to watch for planes to warn any subs and ships in the area. He goes to pick up a person to replace him as plane watcher and gets a vig surprise. It is good for you g kids as well as old. The movie will definitely get you chuckling!

  • Great if you want a light-hearted classic and are willing to suspend your disbelief a little bit.

    I'd say it was about as good as expected. The plot was a little cliché for here and now, but it was probably a new idea when it first came out. The French was good and well-spoken, what there was of it..
