A goose wanting to be loose


Father Goose (1964)

Directed by Ralph Nelson this film stars Cary Grant, Leslie Caron and Trever Howard. During WW2 a reclusive American is very reluctantly tricked into working as coastal watcher for the allies in the Pacific.

I am somewhat surprised to see that this film won an Academy Award for the screenplay given this is a fun but shallow film. Enjoyable even if it has not aged very well this is a fun watch. Cary Grant remains watchable despite not being at his best here.

3/5
