My mother and father took me to see this film when I was seven years old. I loved it, especially the scenes where people were falling into the swimming pool - fully clothed. Children have always liked laughing at things like that.
I have been looking for this film since 1958, when it was first released, and managed to see it again on Talking Pictures this morning.
Brian Rix and Ronald Shiner made lots of films like this during the 1950s. Brian Rix usually repeated his role as the type of character he played in his "Whitehall Farces", and Ronald Shiner assumed his usual role of his scheming, "anything-for-easy-money" partner.
This time they were playing two stewards on an ocean going, luxury liner. The other actors played quite amusing parts, as well. Katie Boyle, even in the role of a nefarious villainess, looked just as lovely as she did in the Camay adverts that she used to do on commercial television during the 1960s.
