A sort of comic adventure with Doug McClure as a scamp who travels around the Caribbean being chased buy irate husbands. He winds up with prim Hayley Mills and her father Lionel Jeffries.
I think they were going for an African Queen vibe - McClure manhandles Mills, molests her, and they fall in love. Of course. Mills has her mid 70s mumsy haircut that was used seemingly as part of that sabotage to kill her career.
Sidney Hayers has directed some decent films but this is very poor. McClure is charmless, Mills plays it in a weird accent. Lionel Jeffries and Warren Mitchell have their moments. There's shenanigans with commies in Cuba. But it just isn't very good. Actually it's really dull and hard to watch.
