The Captain's Table

1959 · 90 min

A gentle, good-natured shipboard romp where social awkwardness and mild scheming drift by as pleasantly as calm seas.

Tagline
Another Hilarious Comedy From the Author of the Notorious "Doctor in the House" Series!
Overview
A captain is promoted by his company from tramp steamers to their flagship passenger liner. Although he is a thoroughly competent sailor ready to take charge of such a ship, he is less prepared for the social duties his new position involves, not least the way he in which becomes the target for all the unattached women on board.
