Review :
A story about a boat and people who are 'nutty' about sailing
I love this film mainly because of the boat 'Turtle', a real little ship. The incidental music is also very pleasant and fits in well with the sailing theme. The storyline is nearly irrelevant but everybody carries the story off well in fact you could easily believe that the whole film was a dramatised documentary of a weekend sailing trip. There are plenty of good bits of humour and lots of 50's atmosphere to enjoy. I have watched the film at least 30 times over the last 30years and have never got bored with it. I have seen one continuity 'gaff', on the trip across to France the boat changes tack instantly between shots. The best line in the film is when John Gregson explains to his new wife that "Turtle is a proper ship, she sails" when comparing her to a very large luxury motor cruiser. You really do need also to be a sailing nut to really enjoy this film.
