Further Up The Creek
Further Up The Creek Serves Up Nautical Naughtiness Aplenty! The Royal Navy has finally entered the nuclear age and is selling off its obsolete old frigates to the Arabs. First to go is HMS Aristotle the secret shame of the Fleet! Under the temporary command of Bosun Dibble (Frankie Howerd), the ship is a hive of vice with its crew willing to do anything to make a few quid. When they hear they will be sailing for the Mediterranean nation of Algerrocco, they see one last chance to make a few bob by pretending their frigate is really a luxury cruise liner and selling tickets!

Amiable, uninventive comedy that was a lesser sequel to Up the Creek, though retaining that film's nostalgic and ramshackle appropriation of a Will Hay movie.

A good British comedy...
A nicely paced British naval comedy that?s a cross between ?The Navy Lark? and ?Watch Your Stern?. Frankie Howerd playing the Bos?n in charge of a motley crew of sailors is given the task of taking one of twenty Frigates sold by the government to a Mediterranean country. Seeing an opportunity to make some money out of the trip he places an ad in the paper offering a cut-price cruise. Then bribing a navel official he acquires the most incompetent officer in the navy, Lt. Fairweather played brilliantly by David Tomlinson to captain the ship. The task then for the crew, once everyone?s on board, is to make sure that the passengers and the captain never meet! With many well known faces including Lionel Jeffries, Thora Hird, Sam Kydd, Esma Cannon and the very shapely Shirley Eaton all adding to the ensuing chaos it?s very quickly all hands to the pump. 7- 10
