A charming romantic comedy with a bit of mystery set mainly on the 'Turtle' as it sails to France and back from England with a collection of likeable characters. There is a lot of location shooting at sea which gives it a salty tang and leaves you with a warm glow. The boat itself becomes a character, you get to know it intimately. There is a capable cast on board including Cecil Parker, Avice Landone, Elvi Hale, Keith Michell, John Gregson and the ever luminous June Thorburn. Directed by the under rated Wendy Toye, it is a most pleasant trip.
It's the kind of film that would never be made these days so one is grateful for its continuing existence in newer media.
