Charlie Chaplin's final film is a delightful romantic comedy filled with clever touches for which he's famous. Written directed & composed by Chaplin it revolves around Russian emigre countess Natascha (Sophia Loren) forced into prostitution in Hong Kong who stows away in wealthy American Ogden's (Marlon Brando's) stateroom to blackmail her way to the States. Since Ogden has a mind of his own & can even resist Natascha's charms what follows is one of the funniest tugs of war ever devised!A wealth of talent supports the stars. There's Chaplin's son Sydney as Brando's cruise companion Tippi Hedren as his icy wife Patrick Cargill as the ultimate gentleman's gentleman & Margaret Rutherford as a dotty old dame. Chaplin himself tops it off with a cameo as the ship's steward! The gags are pure Charlie & his actors make the most of them sailing in & out of slamming doors
- & outrageous situations
- with ease.
