Father Goose
They're sharing a South Sea island with 7 little chaperones...and the Pacific as their battleground!
Directed by Ralph Nelson
Produced by Granox Productions
A charming wartime romantic comedy about a cynical beachcomber and a spirited schoolteacher forced together on an island with seven children, balancing adventure and humor with genuine affection.
During World War II, South Sea beachcomber Walter Eckland is persuaded to spy on planes passing over his island. He gets more than he bargained for as schoolteacher Catherine Frenau arrives on the run from the Japanese with her pupils in tow!
