Up the Creek

When the Admiralty assigns bumbling Lt. Fairweather (David Tomlinson) to command the dilapidated old HMS Berkeley, the harebrained officer discovers that the ship's crew, led by CPO Doherty (Peter Sellers), has been happily employed in racketeering with some local landlubbers. Officer and crew soon reach a mutually convenient arrangement, at least until Fairweather's superior officers show up for an inspection. Val Guest directs this comedy.
