Father Goose

Father Goose - (1964) - Ralph Nelson

Sorry, it's been a long time since I saw this, but I'll give this a try.

I guess I should say that this movie takes place during WWII in the South Pacific.So Cary Grant is in this (yay!). He plays Walter Eckland and he has been assigned to spy on Japanese planes and he's pretty much a drunk. Umm I can't remember exactly but I think he goes to find this one guy and, but he finds this teacher, a French woman played by Leslie Caron and seven students (girls) and the French lady tells him that the guy was killed in an air-raid SO they're kind of stranded for a while and Walter is annoyed by all the girls and the woman, but then he gradually gets used to them and he eventually falls in love with the teacher. It's a pretty cute and funny movie. This was another one my dad forced us to watch and I thought oh no, another WWII movie, no thanks, but I surprisingly enjoyed it a lot! I would definitely recommend watching it.

I should also mention that it won an Oscar for Best Original Screenplay!
