Plot summary

Mediterranean ferryboat captain Henry St James has things well organized - a loving and very English wife Maud in Gibraltar, and the loving if rather more hot-blooded Mistress, Nita in Tangiers. A perfect life. As long as neither woman decides to follow him to the other port.

I cannot think of any movies with Alec

I cannot think of any movies with Alec Guinness that I have not enjoyed. His reputation could have rested on his performance in Bridge on the River Kwai but his nuanced performance in Smiley's People shows his incredible range.I cannot think of any movies with Alec Guinness that I have not enjoyed. His reputation could have rested on his performance in Bridge on the River Kwai but his nuanced performance in Smiley's People shows his incredible range. But, I do not believe movies are made by actors and my mistake here was the idea that anything that Guinness appears in will be good. Maybe Rick had standards in his Casablanca bar but did every man in a Moroccan street scene really wear Western style suits? C'mon. I could go on with too many troubling examples. I can only conclude, given the 1953 date that the director or, perhaps, his* producers, decided that they wanted to create an entertainment aimed at the summer crowd at a Butlin's holiday camp. *Whoever this film's backers were, there is absolutely no way it was anything other than a him - and, no, I have't checked.

A ferry captain experiences every man's fantasy, enjoying

A ferry captain experiences every man's fantasy, enjoying two diametrically opposed cultures separated by the Straight of Gibraltar: British domesticity as solid as the Rock, and the excitement of Morocco mere hours away. Sir Alec is superb as are his two Leading Ladies. This is a classic that doesn't get screened often enough.

Light comedy and very much of its time

Light comedy and very much of its time (women definitely not equals, but the ending switches that to some extent; Bill Fraser as an Tangiers taxi driver); but Alec Guinness is always watchable and he carries the film. Worth watching without expecting too much
