Father Goose (1964 Ralph Nelson)

Written by Charade's Peter Stone, with Frank Tarloff, from a story by S.H. Barnett. Cary Grant and Trevor Howard are on good form, Leslie Caron's character is annoying (in reward for saving their lives, she promptly bans him from drinking). Still, that sparring and the gradual thawing of relationships all round make the film fun, and there are one or two tense moments as well.

Shot by Charles Lang, on a Jamaican island standing in for the South Pacific version.
