The Admirable Crichton

In the South Seas, separated from their yacht, butler Crichton (Kenneth More) with maid Tweeny (Diane Cilento), employer Lord Loam (Cecil Parker), his daughters (Sally Ann Howes, Mercy Haystead, Miranda Connell) and suitors (Jack Watling, Gerald Harper), in Paradise Lagoon, 1958, better known as The Admirable Crichton.

Sally Ann Howes as Lady Mary is gaining some nerve, though she’s the last holdout of the shipwrecked Loam family in recognizing that their butler Crichton (Kenneth More) is best equipped to lead their party, and her attempted swim brings her around, in Paradise Lagoon, 1958, better known as The Admirable Crichton, from the J.M. Barrie play.

When a family is shipwrecked on a desert island, their butler comes to the rescue in The Admirable Crichton (1957) here under its U.S. title.

After an extended domestic pantomime for the credits, Crichton (Kenneth More) awakens Lord Loam (Cecil Parker), who has a surprise for his daughters (Sally Ann Howes, Mercy Haystead, Miranda Connell), in Paradise Lagoon, 1958, from J.M. Barrie's better-known play The Admirable Crichton, 1958.
