Father Goose Reviews
Grant is no quack actor!
For years unappealing plot descriptions repelled me away from FATHER GOOSE. No matter how you describe drunkenness, WWII Japanese invasions and French school maidens, it doesn't sound interesting. The movie title seems only to add insult to injury. Nothing about it reads like a Cary Grant movie. Nevertheless, since each prior Grant movie purchase has been a good investment in long-lasting entertainment I parted with ten bucks and hit the jackpot. Despite the odd descriptions FATHER GOOSE is, believe it or not, a romantic comedy!
Shedding his usually debonair role, Cary Grant plays Walter Eckland, an embittered boat owner who abandoned his teaching career to live on a boat drinking this life away. Through deceit and booze bribing he is enlisted into the service of U.S. armed forces to become a lookout for Japanese fighter planes on a deserted island. The movie grows into what becomes an appropriate title after he discovers a French schoolmistress Catherine Freneau (Leslie Caron) seeking refuge for seven young girls. Picture all of them following Walter like baby geese. Self-interest eventually expands as he makes sacrifices for -- even risks his life to help others. The experience gives new meaning to life as he finds himself drawn to Catherine. Now, if they can just get off the island alive! Though peril is evident, the cast portrays it in a lighthearted manner with plenty of witty lines.
I am happy I finally "risked" purchase of this delightful Grant gem. Hopefully you will enjoy it too -- despite my addition to numerous inadequate plot descriptions.
Movie quote: "So far you've shared me out of my clothes, my food and my house. Now, how about sharing some of my things with me."
