Content

Captain Crowther has it all alone managed to work from the bottom to the top. And now he has the chance to be captain of a new liner. He must bring only these a cruise without a hitch. Unfortunately, it will just set on this trip half a dozen new employees on the nose. The over-zealous first officer Major Banks, the lovesick ship's doctor Binn, the seasick ship's cook Haines, a new bartender who does not even know the recipe of the savior of necessity for the captain, and two new stewards who are only of limited use. Although the new crew members will seek ( or perhaps because of? ), They slide from one disaster to the next.

Comments

The sixth film in the series is the first color film of the series. He remembers the plot a little to the first film head up, chest out: A man in an important position given at its last mission in his function, a new, over-zealous, but rather disabled crew and must make the best of it.

Moreover, there is the second and final time by Not so great, sweetie a second director, because the brother of master director Gerald Thomas, Ralph Thomas is involved in the film. And it shows his handwriting well. Although the films were very adorable before, he raises the movies on a new, technically better level, because he was not already experienced with the last successful doctor movies. In addition, much reminiscent of his own movie Doctor Ahoy! (Doctor at Sea, 1955, with Dirk Bogarde, Brigitte Bardot, James Robertson Justice and Maurice Denham ), in which even Cyril Chamberlain and other carry-on ... - headliners ( Joan Hickson and Joan Sims, but in this part of the Carry-on ... series are not included).

Charles Hawtrey is in this movie for the first time not one of the party, and it is also the last film by screenwriter Norman Hudis.
