Father Goose

1964 light-hearted film from Ralph Nelson and starring Cary Grant and Leslie Caron.

Grant plays a boozy islander who is basically blackmailed into getting involved in World War Two as a plane spotter. He's somewhat content until his life is complicated by a school teacher and her female students who make his lkife miserable.

Fun for the family, but sways from comedy to war-time suspense on occaission.

Both stars are very good and the chemistry works. Grant as a boozy n'eer do well is a hoot.
