Not particularly bad, but not particularly good, either. Merely average and harmless. The biggest problem is the unconvincing staging; the exterior shots of the sea and the ship look like stock footage, and the actors appear never to have set foot outside the studio. Brando is never particularly funny, but Sophia Loren is as busty and sensual as ever! Anyway, you may have expected a more triumphant closure for Chaplin's career, but considering his age at the time (78), it's an adequate job. (**1/2)
