5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, October 17, 1999

By A Customer

This review is from: Captain's Table [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Captain Epps receives a chance to command the line's prestigious flag ship, the Queen Adelaide, for one voyage--one big problem, though--he never commanded a passenger liner before. When he calls an officer's meeting and describes passengers as "animated cargo," you see trouble brewing. His crew and passengers let their base desires dictate their actions--gold digger first officer hoping for that rich gal as a ticket to dry land and chasing pretty women night and day, purser Prittiwell running scams to bilk the company and passengers of their money, widow Mrs. Judd hoping to hook a ship's officer, Major Broster reminding everyone of his power and influence, the sexy Daphne Portious wreaking havoc for Epps, the battling Cokes and their belligerent boy, and the list goes on. Epps fights his best to keep on top of this larcenous lot, aided by his poor valet, Tiny. The exaggerated characterizations leave you in tears of laughter. A laugh out loud farce from beginning to end.

This review is from: Captain's Table [VHS] (VHS Tape)

The ship in the video was actually the old SS Orsova, an Orient Line British ship on which I travelled from Melbourne Australia to London England in 1958. So the video was actually of some nostalgic value to me. But for that it is a very ordinary B&W British comedy that otherwise would have had no appeal.
