Father Goose: Review

starstarstarstar
Playing against his sophisticated image, Cary Grant is Walter Eckland, a drunken beach bum who sits out WWII on a South Seas island until he is coerced by an Australian naval officer (Trevor Howard) into monitoring Japanese air activity. When Eckland travels to a nearby island to rescue another plane watcher, he finds the observer dead, but schoolteacher Catherine Freneau (Leslie Caron) and her seven young female charges are very much alive after being marooned when their plane went down. They return with Eckland and clean up his act while he and Freneau fall in love. Danger looms, however, as the Japanese forces close in. Grant's penultimate film (WALK, DON'T RUN was his last), this romantic comedy won Best Screenplay Oscars for Frank Tarloff and Peter Stone, who worked on the screenplay separately but were awarded a shared credit by a Writers Guild arbitration. leave a comment
