Country: GB
Technical: Eastmancolor 91m
Director: Gerald Thomas
Cast: Bernard Cribbins, Juliet Mills, Kenneth Williams, Donald Houston, Charles Hawtrey, Patrick Cargill, Peter Gilmore
Synopsis:
Midshipman Poop-Decker loses his identity to a woman desperate to rejoin her lover in Spain, and the two of them end up aboard Captain Fearless's good ship Venus, bound for Cádiz.
Review:
Perky sendup of the Hornblower subgenre, with a degree of professionalism in the support performances, direction and production (efficient blocking, editing and bathtub battleships), but precious few good lines and peculiar notions concerning European geography.
