light weight comedy
22 May 2021
In London, bureaucratic diplomat Henry Brittingham-Brett (David Niven) has been having an affair with Susan Ashlow (Ava Gardner) who is married to busy famous industrialist Sir Philip Ashlow (Stewart Granger). She insists on sailing on their yacht and Philip reluctantly agrees. It's the most light love triangles. Susan feels neglected by Philip and best friend Henry cannot get over her. She wouldn't mind having them both. The three of them and their dog end up in a lifeboat together in a storm. They find their way to a tropical island. Philip builds a big hut for him and Susan, and a little hut for Henry.

This is light weight. It practically floats away in the ocean. These characters have no weight. She is especially problematic. I think that this is supposed to be a screwball rom-com. I don't like any of them. It might be funny if one is geared towards the 50's sitcom with separate beds except they're very British. This is basically Gilligan's Island with less sex appeal. This may be funny to some people but it isn't funny for me.
