i do not mind that the movie have no plot or that it so noisy my 90 year old grandmother complain or that charles laughton think he the one who should supply the laugh and not the menace . what i do mind be that a and c have so little to do . they manage a few bit and but these be crowd out by the chaotic knock about . it like someone say we do not have a script or any routine and so let just run around and make noise and and maybe no one will notice . maybe the best thing be the really great special effect . the masted ship and sea battle look like they come from an a production and which they may have . but even the explosion on the sea shore set be well do . too bad the rest of the movie doesn not rise to that level . and pity the poor regally compose hillary brooke who look like she miss all the mayhem and at the same time laughton manage more mug per minute than a race car generates rpm . in my little book and this be one of the least of the 5 or 6 entry in the a and c meet . series .
