Movie Reviews of Father Goose
Movie Review: Classic romantic comedy
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is one of our favorites, and we have watched it dozens of times over the years. Although the story line takes place during World War II, this is definitely NOT a war movie! Rather, Cary Grant and Leslie Caron are complete opposites who meet on an enemy plane-watching Pacific island and what follows is just plain funny. Trevor Howard is also great in this movie, his banter with and tricks on Cary Grant are dry humor at its best. Throw in a bunch of diplomatic school girls, an enemy excursion to the island, and the final denoument, and you have all the makings of a great movie. Get ready to meet "Goody-Two Shoes and the Filthy Beast"! This movie is a true classic and will never get old.Movie Review: Cary Grant's Last Great Film
Summary: 5 Stars
If you love Cary Grant you should go wild over this movie, where he spends most of his time in a grisly half-beard and scruffy clothes. It was his last great movie.
Grant, playing against type, ends up helping the U.S. in World War II by being a spotter on a Pacific island. Who else could capture the screen time so well when being all alone on the island (maybe Tom Hanks, since he did it too?). When Grant meets Caron and the little girls it turns into a hilarious battle. The ending has some suspense before it all ends happily ever after.
A great movie for Grant fans. Too bad he didn't end with this one instead of going on to make Walk, Don't Run as his final film!
Movie Review: My favorite Cary Grant Movie
Summary: 5 Stars
You just can't go wrong with Cary Grant, and this is my all time favorite Cary Grant movie. No matter how many times I watch it, I still laugh watching him dealing with all those little girls and their fussy teacher (Leslie Caron) while they try to make the best of being stuck on an island during WWII. The movie has just the right combination of tension (the daring night rescue of the girls from a neighboring Japanese occupied island)and comedy (Cary Grant's response when one of the teenage girls developes a crush on him). The seriousness of the war is not forgotten, but it is tempered with humor, and of course, a developing love story. A definite must see for any Cary Grant fan.Movie Review: One of Grant`s better romantic comedies
Summary: 5 Stars
Grant`s character is an anti-social south seas hermit/bum (but still a reasonably decent fellow) who has been unwillingly forced into
service as a coast watcher during world war two. As you might expect, he is somewhat less than thrilled by this turn of events. Which
makes for some good comedy right off the bat.
But the action really starts when he is suddenly saddled with a young prissy school marm and seven little girls in her charge. And there
is no way of getting them, or him, off a small island that seems to be getting smaller all the time.
The mad conflict that follows is classic comedy that all ages will enjoy.
Movie Review: Father Goose
Summary: 5 Stars
This movie is Cary Grant at his comedic best. He and Leslie Caron are perfect foils for each other. Grant is the reluctant hero who rescues Caron and seven daughters of diplomats she is in charge of during WWII. Grant is a coast watcher for the allies. They are the only people on an island and are trying to avoid detection by the Japanese, who of course want to eliminate anyone who can report their movements. They interplay between Grant and the eight females is hilarious. This is a movie the whole family will enjoy watching together.
