Love the old Will Hay movies, especially the ones with Moore and Moffatt..

[@dubinatub1]

They never got on in real life

[@AgenoriaModelTrains]

This was one of my favourite Will Hay films after Oh Mr Porter! and Convict 99. Still a very funny film and holds up almost 90 years later.

[@eugenebell3166]

Absolutely love Will Hay, he has a great warmth to his humour

[@gazmasonik2411]

Absolutely! Timeless comedy before ww2. Will still be relevant to future generations.

[@Morrisfactor]

Lots of fun. By the way, that sextant the good captain is holding at 6:50 is a very rare double frame sextant made in the UK between 1870/1880 and worth a pretty penny today. They were the most expensive sextants of the period.

[@BuggleskellyStation]

@@Morrisfactor I imagine it was used in countless films too. The studios tended to reuse a lot of props and sets

I remember watching these movies as a kid, they were special then and today, just fantastic

Funny old movie, great entertainment! "Cap'n" Windbag reminds me of a guy I work with .. lol ..

Can't beat a God will hay film

[@anthonycrumb5753]

For any one interested the opening sequences of the Square Rigger i think are from Capt John Irving's film of the 4 masted barque 'Peking' rounding Cape Horn the 'wrong way' - East to West in truly terrible weather. This film of the Peking is truly amazing, its a miracle that any one on deck survived at all, this film which is only about 20 mins long is a real slice of history and is well worth a look. The sailing ship Pekin was originally built for the famous 'Flying P Line' of Hamburg, and was until a few years ago in the South Street Seaport Museum in New York which is where I visited her, she was sold to the Hamburg Port Museum, where she is being completely refitted. If you ever have the oportunity to visit her do not miss out.

I thought this was funny, it is a comedy of it's era, but the idiocy and plot make it timeless. Will Hay. My Mum would have remembered him.

[@johngalvin6010]

I've seen a few Will Hay movies and being as daft as they are makes them even more enjoyable.

[@user-nq2th7zw2b]

Thanks for this funny as 😂

[@annstenson324]

Bloody good English comedy at its best even if it’s only in black and white

[@BuggleskellyStation]

@annstenson324 some of the best things are in black and white :)

[@DavidRice111]

It would suck with "colorized"! Enjoy it as our predecessors did!

its a good movie for 8 year old boys.

[@tombombadil9123]

Will Hay is one of the comedic geniuses, on par with Groucho. Yet he is not appreciated accordingly

[@michaeljohnson5370]

Any idea where I could watch the goose steps out and the ghost of st Michaels please?

[@stephenchecksfield632]

He is the spite and image of his grandson Bradley Walsh! On the TV game the chase!

[@BuggleskellyStation]

Not his Grandson, but a lot of people have pointed out the resemblance. He could play him in a docudrama...

[@JimRogers-oc2jd]

@@BuggleskellyStation I know that! Only joking! And a good prompt, he could take him off to in any play or short film, on Will Hays life story! Bradley is vary skill full actor, and it would masterful peace.

[@Wench64]

They don't show many old films anymore, Saturdays they put musicals on bb2 in the used to love to watch them we at grans, even on Sundays they put films on, nowadays it the same rubbish that's on the week or repeats, it's like we are a lost generation who they don't care about😢

27:20. That stuntman earned his pay!!🫣

[@Humans_Eh]

I thought the same thing. Looked quite dangerous in fact if those were real timbers. Different breed of people back then, far tougher than today.
