Cary Grant plays an alcoholic curmudgeon in this one. He is maroond on an island at the start of WW2 in order to force him into being a coast watcher. Very soon afterwards, he finds himself responsible for a woman and seven little girls, who are not also marooned on his island, but they take over his hut and steal a lot of his stuff. This is a romantic comedy, so he falls in love with the women and becomes a father figure to the girls. This is a great example of how to make a movie. Five stars out of five.
