Movie review

From Time Out Film Guide

Cargo ship skipper Gregson, having his boorish horizons rapidly widened when he takes command of an ocean liner, is the fulcrum of this class satire co-written by Bryan Forbes. Peggy Cummins, never in British films offered a challenge remotely comparable to that she accepted in Gun Crazy, plays one of the shipboard rivals for a status-weighted seat at Gregson's side.
