Details

• Release Year: 1953
• Genre: Classic
• Plot: Sir Alec Guinness is Henry St. James, the captain of an international ferry boat who has discovered the secret to the perfect double life: In Gibraltar, he enjoys domestic bliss with his dutiful British housewife (Celia Johnson of BRIEF ENCOUNTER), while in Tangier he is married to a hot-blooded Spanish vixen (Yvonne DeCarlo of SALOME WHEN SHE DANCED and THE MUNSTERS). But when the Captain becomes careless with anniversary gifts, his personal paradise sails into some very unexpected surprises. Even if he can outwit two betrayed wives, can he survive one very serious firing squad? THE CAPTAIN'S PARADISE received a 1953 Academy Award® nomination for Best Screenplay and remains one of Guinness' most charming performances ever. THE ALEC GUINESS COLLECTION presents this screen legend's classic comedies including THE LADYKILLERS, THE LAVENDER HILL MOB, THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT and KIND HEARTS AND CORONETS, all still considered to be among the greatest movie comedies ever made.
