Based on a novel by Anthony Thorne. If you like the title you'll love the film; and enough people did in 1956 to handsomely repay British Lion splashing out colour & widescreen on this fey little trifle set against an imposing nautical backdrop.
The young Bryan Forbes presumably wrote most of his own lines for his role as the crew's other boy wonder if his additional dialogue credit is anything to go by. I hope he wasn't responsible for the 'Russian' spoken by visiting Marshal Andre Morell (while the baby supplied his own gurgles and howls). Five years later star Richard Attenbrough was putting up the money for the lad's directorial debut (Forbes', not the baby's).
