If you liked the current Peculiar COUPLE – slob and compulsive neatnik thrown together in the same apartment – or HEAVEN KNOWS, MR. ALLISON – tough guy WWII Marine marooned on an enemy-held South Pacific island with a graceful nun, then you should devour FATHER GOOSE starring Cary Grant, Leslie Caron and Trevor Howard. I saw it once again on the telly this past weekend while doing the ironing, and I’m fortunate to be ancient enough to have an appreciation of all three films.
Grant is Walter Eckland, an antisocial, unkempt escapee from “civilization” that spends his time bumming around the South Seas on an veteran yacht. At the begin of WWII, he’s coerced into service as a “cruise watcher”, an observer stationed on a remote island as a lookout for Japanese planes or ships, by the wily and dry-witted local Royal Navy authority figure, Comdr. Houghton (Howard) . Eckland is bribed with booze to originate in His Majesty’s service. One of his first assignments is to boat over to another island and rescue a fellow wing watcher. But, on arriving, he finds only his colleague’s grave and the Caron character, Catherine Freneau, the daughter of a French government official, who’s been stranded with a bevy of underage schoolgirls of which she has charge. Walter naturally takes them benefit to his island and his hovel, where the differences between the two adults soon surface. To Eckland, Freneau becomes “Goody Two Shoes”, while, to the latter, her knight in stained armor becomes the “Filthy Beast”.
While admittedly amusing entertainment, FATHER GOOSE is a palatable romantic comedy that doesn’t, like some of the novel Tinseltown offerings, rely for laughs on sensitive body parts being caught in zippers, bodily fluids masquerading as hair gel, or carnal knowledge of apple pies. This film has Class, chiefly due to the presence of Grant, who character demonstrates more suavity unshaven and without socks than any one of today’s sever of male actors dressed up in a tux. (Perhaps only Sean Connery, Robert Redford and Paul Newman are terminate to being in the same league.) Caron’s strong-willed and very feminine Freneau is more than a match for Eckland’s obstinately boorish masculinity – a pairing made in heaven, or at least Hollywood.

Perhaps my high worship for this film is more a function of nostalgia. But there’re a lot of other films from that same period of my youth that are eminently forgettable, so I have to contemplate that FATHER GOOSE is a chop above.
Cary Grant is cast as Walter Eckland in this very humorous classic comedy. His normal sexy leading man characteristics are downplayed to let his comedic genius shine through. He stars opposite Leslie Caron cast as Catherine Freneau. They are an accident waiting for a dwelling to happen at their first meeting, and it objective gets worse from there. Walter is bribed and threatened into service as a watcher in WWII. Catherine is a diplomat’s daughter given the responsibility of escorting several school children into a safer station. When they are all stranded together, the hilarity, and battle of the sexes begins.

This is one of my popular comedies, and one of Cary Grant’s last movies. No one does it like he does. A huge film that the entire family can relish together.
