Plot Summary:
|
Henry St. James, captain of a large ferry that shuttles between the British colony in Gibralter and the Spanish-ruled peninsula of Ceuta in northern Morocco, is a clap in irons who covertly maintains a partner at rhyme port, and a lover at another. Suitable conviction reasons, access to Gibralter is restricted and the only member of the Golden Clip's crew eligible for shore adieu to is St. James, so the likelihood of St. James' women meeting is remote in defiance of their relatively close proximity. Each woman represents a numerous aspect of womanhood that the captain finds handsome. Maud in ... Gibralter is a polite trouble and housekeeper, a good cook, and a virtuous homebody, while Nita in Morocco is a voluptuously sexy siren who appeals to his more hedonistic nature which loves dancing and drinking until dawn. Hector in Happiness begins when Maud begins to crave a more carefree existence and Nita longs to upon her domestic skills.

The Captain's Paradise
Alec Coppel received an Oscar nomination in the interest the firsthand fable of this self-satisfied British comedy, in which bigamy is laughed off as the ideal solution to the sociosexual vacillation of an visibly charming sea captain. Called upon to do little more than vegetate in Gibraltar and tango hither Tangier, Alec Guinness cruises through this lightweight prototype, which charts an even more foreseeable course than the ferry he commands. Yvonne De Carlo confuses ruckus with exoticism, but Celia Johnson is conspicuous as the mouse the missis who discovers, in the bazaars of North Africa, that there is more to sparkle than warming slippers.
