IMDB --- Wikipedia en inglésComentario: THE scriptwriter T. E. B. Clarke, who created "The Lavender Hill Mob" for Alec Guinness, has done him less service with the script for "All at Sea," Mr. Guinness' latest British comedy, which arrived at the Normandie on Saturday. But even a minor achievement from the team of Guinness and Clarke is worth anyone's time and custom, and this one certainly is.
In it Mr. Guinness is presented as a British naval officer whose career is immensely embarrassed by the fact that he is highly susceptible to mal de mer. This is all the more humiliating because he is descended from a long line of seafaring men who appear on odd occasions to haunt him (all of whom Mr. Guinness plays).
Since he has a great fondness for naval service and is a stickler for naval discipline, he buys himself an amusement pier at a seaside resort and embarks upon its operation as though it were a ship. "I won't be satisfied," he tells his small staff of lazy and bewildered louts, "until everything is piershape and Black-pool fashion. I want this to be a happy pier, because a happy pier is an efficient pier."
The words could not be spoken more sharply by Noel Coward.
Such is the motivation that turns the creaky old Sandcastle Pier into a stationary seagoing structure, with Mr. Guinness proudly pacing its bridge and setting up his own captain's quarters in what was formerly the pier's Crazy House. (The arrangement is very appropriate because it has a permanent slant to its floor.) And this, in turn, brings on mortal conflict with the Mayor and council of the town, who are more interested in quiet peculation than in having a motionless "ship" attached to their shore.
Mr. Clarke's whimsical notion doesn't sail quite the untroubled sea that Mr. Guinness' pier does. It runs into roughness, now and then, which requires rather diligent overacting and farcical behavior by all hands. But Mr. Guinness, who has made an art of underplaying, never goes too far overboard—not even when he takes to the longboat (a peddle-paddle boat) with cotton stuffed in his ears. He is consistently amusing, in his highly civilized farcical way.
As his "Number One" officer, Percy Herbert enters solemnly into the spirit of the thing, and Victor Maddern is amusingly insulting as a pierhand who goes back to his dredge. Irene Browne is politely outlandish as a local bathing-house proprietor who joins the "ship," and Maurice Denham is oily and churlish as the Mayor who tries to ruin the show.
Things move along quite blithely under the direction of Charles Frend. This may not be Mr. Guinness' funniest, but it will do until a funnier comes along.
