Its a very nice enjoyable movie from World War II where Cary Grant is tricked into a war job on one of many islands in the Pacific by Harbour Master (Trevor Howard). On visit to a near by island he finds Leslie Caron and her 7 pupils stranded there. He brings them back in his little row boat. Rest of the film revolved around hilarious scenes of his interaction with the 'girls' . The initially silent Jenny (Sharyl Locke), tomboy Harry (Jennifer Berrington), chronic complainer Anne (Pip Sparke), Elizabeth (Stephanie Berrington) and her imaginary friend Gretchen, coming of age Christine (Venina Greenlaw), and the French twins (Laurelle and Nichole Felsette).
And soon Cary Grant falls in love with Leslie Caron. They are married on the island ,chaplain administering their marriage from the radio wire-less just as a Japanese plane attacks their shack. Its a exciting climax where they manage to escape from the island in a submarine. It won an Oscar for Original screenplay.
