Spoiled brat is stranded on desert island (Mallorca) with rough and ready ship's mate Kenneth More, sporting unlikely Irish accent - thus setting up an early version of Swept Away. Big difference is huffy journalist George Cole and prig Robertson Hare are there also.
Amazingly Joan still had a career afterwards, in fact was shortly Hollywood bound. Maybe because of her skill in whipping up a bikini out of an old jumper. She also asks for a gin and ginger at the ship's bar, which is a new one on me.
In incredibly washed out print on TPTV it's difficult to admire Wilkie Cooper's photography. John Seabourne is editor having fun cutting action against parrot, a trick Anne Coates seems to have picked up (Man Friday).
