Charlie Chaplin s final film is a delightful romantic comedy, filled with the clever touches for which he s famous. Written, directed and composed by Chaplin, it revolves around Russian countess Natascha (Sophia Loren), forced into prostitution in Hong Kong, who stows away in wealthy American Ogden s (Marlon Brando s) stateroom to blackmail her way to the States. Since Ogden has a mind of his own, and can eve resist Natascha s charms, what follows is one of the funniest tugs of war ever devised!

A wealth of talent supports the stars. There s Chaplin s son, Sydney, as Brando s cruise companion, Tippi Hedren as his icy wife, Patrick Cargill as the ultimate gentleman s gentleman, and Margaret Rutherford as a dotty old dame. Chaplin himself tops it off with a cameo as the ship s steward! The gags, are pure Charlie and his actors make the most of them, sailing in and out of slamming doors-and outrageous situations-with ease.
