Father Goose Summary
Director: Ralph Nelson
Genres: Adventure
Rating:
Deliberately casting his established screen image to the four winds, Cary_Grant plays Walter Eckland, an unkempt, uncouth and unshaven beach bum in Father_Goose. During World War II, Walter keeps busy relaying radio reports of Japanese air activity. But he's no hero, and in fact volunteered for this mission only because he's been promised a shipment of liquor by Australian naval officer Frank Houghton (Trevor_Howard). Making matters worse for the misanthropic Eckland is the arrival of French schoolmistress Catherine Freneau (Leslie_Caron) and her seven little-girl charges, whose plane has crashed nearby. The animosity between Walter and Catherine erupts into a slapping contest, with Walter dishing it out as well as taking it. Only when Catherine is bitten by a deadly snake does Walter express his affections for her. Hal Erickson, Rovi
