Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe Disney studio was aware of Tommy Kirk's homosexuality by this time. Kirk did not get along with Jane Wyman during filming, and his relationship with Fred MacMurray deteriorated as well. He recalled, "I thought Jane Wyman was a hard, cold woman and I got to hate her by the time I was through with Bon Voyage!. Of course, she didn't like me either, so I guess it came natural. I think she had some suspicion that I was gay and all I can say is that, if she didn't like me for that, she doesn't like a lot of people."
- GoofsThe SS United States was famously advertised as being totally fireproof, with wood furnishings banned from her construction and decor. In sound stage version of the ship's library, the space is decorated with wooden tables and chairs.
- Quotes
[on the beach at Cannes, Harry and Skipper are watching Elliott chat up a pretty French girl, as the girl's mother looks on disapprovingly]
Skipper Willard: How do you like Elliott's new moustache, Dad?
Harry Willard: I think I like the one on the girl's mother better.

Featured review
DISNEY'S MOST UNDER-RATED FILM OF THE 60'S
Nice Disney family film in the tradition of Old Yeller, Swiss Family Robinson & LT. Robin Crusoe USN. Stars Fred Mac Murray & Jane Wyman as well as veteran Disney child actors Tommy Kirk & Kevin Cochoran, and the late Deborah Walley. Real star of this film is the old Ocean Liner SS United States. - 1962 was the twilight of the big Transatlantic Ocean Liners and " The Big U" shows herself in all her glory. Shot on location in Paris and the Riviera, it gives us a look back at Paris back in the 60's with all the fads and fashions. A bit dated for today's tots. This film is probably better suited for adults looking for a nostalgic look back.
