When untimely remarks to some new recruits are splashed across the tabloids, the rush is on to find him a new posting somewhere far away...

4.0 out of 5 starsResurfaced at last
By Al Baker on 25 Feb. 2015
Format: DVD
Thanks are due to Network for rescuing this film from decades of undeserved obscurity. It's a good deal better than many better known British comedies of the time. If ever there were a film with a history behind it, this is it. Network's sleeve notes refer to Kenneth More as being at the height of his fame, but sadly, that is not really true. By the time that this was made, More was finding work hard to come by. After his breakthrough roles in Genevieve and Doctor in the House, More spent the rest of the fifties building his reputation as one of Britain's biggest box office stars, a fixture at Pinewood Studios and one of Rank's most dependable stars. Then, in early 1961, came the unexpected failure of Man in the Moon at the box office, followed by the lacklustre performance of The Greengage Summer. Rank were happy to loan More to Carl Foreman for The Guns of Naverone and More looked forward to this as an oppurtunity to make a mark on the US market. Then, at a film industry function at the Dorchester Hotel, More got somewhat the worse for drink and heckled Rank's boss John Davis throughout his speech. When Davis had sat down a woman at the table asked More what he was doing next and he excitedly replied that he was about to fly off to Greece to appear in The Guns of Naverone, to which Davis replied "oh no you're not". Davis told More that he had changed his mind because producer Danny Angel, with whom More had been associated, had threatened to sell his films to TV in defiance of a film industry embargo. More's response was to launch a tirade of abuse at Davis and walk out of the function. In spite of profuse apologies the next day, Davis refused to change his mind and More was, in effect, sacked by Rank (the Guns of Naverone role went to David Niven).Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 starsASSOCIATED BRITISH-A.B.P.C.'s KENNETH MORE PAIRING WITH AN ARRAY OF HOLLYWOOD FACES
By Bertram Bisto the Gravy Baron WW on 16 Jan. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Long-awaited release of a great sixties picture - Kenneth More films don't grow on trees and there's few left to explore. This is one of the few left.

ABPC / Associated British Picture Corporation's use of scenario from a project they were collaborating on with Warner Bros in 1959-60 called H.M.S. CHEESECAKE, which promised an array of Hollywood and British star signings: they instead split the project into two, using it first on their very undernourished Charlie Drake family vehicle PETTICOAT PIRATES (1961-'62), before aiming for more of their original intention with this. (These films all mostly owed their origins to one of ABPC's great pre-war box office successes, THE MIDDLE WATCH).

Awaiting the release to review with a fresh pair of eyes, this film has not been seen for nearly twenty years.
____________________________________
Having finally seen the release, the print is in pristine-PERFECT CONDITION ! The only thing about the project is that for 1961-62 - when it was planned - it was in pole position as prime top-line studio product: by the time ABPC got it into their ABC and Warner Cinemas, it was late 1963 and decidedly past the time in that swinging year of radical change. Meanwhile, ABPC's autonomous subsidiary Anglo-Amalgamated was managing to meet new tastes with features like DARLING and CITY UNDER THE SEA.

3.0 out of 5 starsDon't all rush at once
By Amazon Customer on 14 Mar. 2016
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Although a Kenneth More fan and also a fan of the books "We Saw The Sea" etc by John Winston I was a tad disappointed as it didn't really "do" much for me. Probably won't bother watching again for a very long time - although the scenes filmed at Brittania Royal Naval College Dartmouth are very interesting.

A good film but not the same navy as I was in, but very true about some of the senior officer who don't like to be wrong.

By Bram DeRuiter on 22 Mar. 2015
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
I am a great fan of Kenneth More and was looking forward to seeing this film. However, considering the great cast, I was disappointed with the
movie. The only reason I can come up with is perhaps the editing could have been better. Still, I would recommend buying the dvd as there are
quite a few interesting scenes.
