My brief review of the film

Unrealistic, overly silly and at times quite messy, Ronald Shiner does seem to know what he is doing at least, and the vitality that he gives to his character, plus some amusing amounts, are enough to bring this British comedy, about rivalry between navy officers, up to scratch. There is little in the way of character development, and in fact most of the supporting characters are indistinguishable from the next. Some of the happenings are hard to digest, they are so silly, and there are few impressive features in the film. However, as just light entertainment, it works fairly well: not a laugh-out-loud film, but certainly one with a fair share of amusing moments.

Let them all walk the plank

Difficult to realise or understand that Ronnie Shiner was one of the top British film stars of the fifties.I even recall seeing this at the Ode on Temple Fortune when it was released.Watching it now,some 64vyears on it is difficult to work out why anybody thought that this dogs dinner of a film was funny.The writers must take a lot of the blame.Though any film featuring Brian Rix has a big handicap to start with.The story is very silly.Shiner is in the navy and is involved in nonsensical goings on in China.Lots of familiar faces are unable to save this mess.Hatfield Jacques appears in a truly embarrassing bit part at the beginning of the film.Peter Rogers had the basic idea for this film.He had better ones.
