[Highly rated reviewer]
This is an unusual film and very funny
The whole plot is a bit of a stretch, but: Its WWII, its the South Pacific and grant lives on a boat Trevor Howard impounds in order to make Grant co-operate with the war effort, spotting planes for the Allies. Leslie Caron is in charge of assorted public school girls and they all end up on the one island. The only quibble here is that Grant is waaaay too old, or Caron is waaay too young. He looks like he could be her grandfather, which spoils the romantic element a bit.
