This is an agreeably dated version of JM Barrie's play, about the butler to Lord Loam taking over as master when the family is shipwrecked. The well-loved material provides a splendid vehicle for Kenneth More's genial urbanity, though it's Cecil Parker, as the bemused peer, who seems more in touch with early 20th-century times. Diane Cilento (Jason Connery's mother) and Sally Ann Howes are the charmers vying for Crichton's impeccable affections.
Plot Summary
Comedy adventure based on the play by JM Barrie, starring Kenneth More. A butler finds that his common-sense values give him the upper hand over his aristocratic employer when they are marooned on a tropical island.
