Comment
In the Pacific ocean during world war 2, a man (Cary Grant) is given the job of going to island to spot Japanese planes but ends up rescuing a woman (Leslie Caron) and a group of children. The film revolves around the relationship between the world weary, alcoholic Cary Grant and the feisty Lesie Caron as their initial animosity turns to romance whilst looking after the group of girls and avoiding the Japanese. This is one of Cary Grant's later films and is a light comedy set against a war background and without a dance number from Leslie Caron.
