Not only was it filmed in Scotland but also has a bit about a fairy-land king with 7 sons named for their place in the family (Primus, Secundus, ect.) just like that pregnant cat that Eliza adopts. There's a great love-story about two people who don't hit it off at all initially--one of whom has pledged himself to another (not named Estelle).
I stumbled across this movie a couple of years ago when my family was out of town and just loved it. The pacing and focus can be criticized but it's got a great heart.
Never While the Grass Grows has that lovely ship's infirmary. The hands-down best ship's hospital in the entire world of film is in:
Permission to come aboard!
Beleaguered and inexpressibly hot submarine captain (Cary Grant) must keep a rag-tag crew, a felonious supply clerk, a pink sub and five stacked (in the classical sense...as in built, shapely and curvaceous) nurses in order. Every crewman develops a reason to visit the infirmary and pass the ladies in the tight quarters.The well-endowed nature of the nurses isn't a accidental. It's positively a plot point and a matter of life and death.
Stardust is possitively the most overlooked great movie out there except maybe North and South. I couldn't believe how many stars were in it and I hadn't heard of it until you.
ReplyDeletePermission to come aboard? Someone was up late writing that one. (lol)
"Stardust" grand fun.
ReplyDelete"Operation Petticoat"--one of the all-time greats. We watched the movie with the kids then toured the U.S.S. Cod moored at the Cleveland Harbor (the deck guns even move)--a ball!--then they wanted to see the movie again--laughed even more the second time.
