My mother and father took me to see this film when I was seven years old. I loved it, especially the scenes where people were falling into the swimming pool - fully clothed.
As a fan of British comedies of this era I was pleased to discover Not Wanted On Voyage.Two cabin stewards, the scheming Albert Higgins (Ronald Shiner) and his dim witted mate Cecil Hollebone (Brian Rix), set out on a ocean voyage under the exasperated Chief Steward (Michael Brennen).
Ronnie Shiner became a big film star in the fifties.He was no one box office star at one time.
Brian Rix was well known for his farces but as a child I only really knew him for his adult literacy shows on television and for his work for the mentally disabled for which he received a peerage.Here is a rare chance to catch him doing comedy.
Passable British comedy from veteran director MacLean Rogers starring a very good Ronald Shiner as a slightly shady steward on a cruise ship who eventually foils some diamond thieves. Some bits go on for too long and become tiresome, but overall this is a fun time.
