| Review Summary and Plot Commentary about Father Goose |
|---|
Cary Grant is an island watcher during WWII and is "invaded" by Leslie Caron, who is a school teacher, and brings with her, her students, all female. Cary Grant is much the loner, but upon finding Ms Caron and company setting up house after being stranded on the island, the fun begins. Cary Grant, as always, is hilariously charming, and Ms. Caron and Cary Grant do not at first see eye to eye. However, as Cary adjusts to his besieged lifestyle change, he and Ms Caron ignite a spark between themselves, and the cast awayed students. This becomes another classic for Cary Grant, in his usual charming and witty way.
