A good British comedy...
By HD (148 reviews) from West Midlands , 24 Mar 2005[Highly rated reviewer]
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- Was this review helpful to you?

By a customer from Cardiff, Wales , 02 Dec 2005A sequel to the very successful 'Up the Creek', 'Further up the Creek' has an all-star 1950s British comedy cast, an effective script and a storyline that is sufficiently unpredictable to keep viewers interested. Frankie Howerd is very funny as the Bosun on the make, well supported by his scheming crew. David Tomlinson wins our sympathy and our groans as the accident-prone and gullible captain. Shirley Eaton is on good form, while the younger generation may be surprised to see Thora Hird as she was before she became the face of BBC's 'Songs of Praise'. This family thought that this film was much better than 'Watch your Stern'. Recommended to raise a laugh in the long dark winter evenings.- Was this review helpful to you?
