I also remember seeing part of "
The Captains Paradise", about a ferry captain who is a bigamist with wives on both shores.
In
Barnacle Bill, Alec Guiness is a seasick captain from a long line of naval heroes who inherits an amusement pier.
Our Man in Havana is about a British Intelligence contractor who invents stories in order to make ends meet. It's like
The Tailor of Panama, but it's a comedy and was done decades before leCarre wrote the novel that became that movie.
Guinness is fine as a serious actor, but he is brilliant in comedies.
