Featuring Cary Grant and Leslie Carron, Father Goose
is one of a series of movies Cary Grant made during the 1950's and 1960's. In
this episode, Grant plays a reclusive outcast sailing along in a cabin cruiser
at the start of the Second World War. Caught stealing supplies from the Royal
Navy, he is forced into duty as a coast watcher on a remote Pacific Ocean island.
Enter Leslie Carron playing the spinster school teacher with the unenviable
responsibility for a group of school children separated from their parents by
the war. Arguing about everything from liquor to living quarters, a variety
of comedic situations arise between the two stars with a storyline that builds
to a climatic ending as Japanese troops land on the island they are stranded
on together.
The chain of events that puts the two stars together makes this movie pretty
funny. Although not rated, the content of this movie makes it a family movie
appropriate for children of all ages. Although not a true story, it at least
provides some limited background to get an idea of what coast watching accomplished
during the war. Written as a family movie, this one is fine to watch with kids
of all ages.
