Wastage of actors, time, and topic

Two hours of mostly boredom. No Lino Ventura and no Brigitte Bardot can help at a movie that is concocted from various small scenes that could have been encountered under the umbrella topic of smuggling alcool during Prohibition.A captain and alcool smuggler lets himself being shot at with live ammunition for money. Then he buys a new ship from the money gained from that exercise, and instead of smuggling alcool, he follows the screenings of a movie star (BB) throughout the Caribbean. Until he finally happens to come across her incidentally at some remote beach. They fall in love, and remain happy until she decides to marry someone else.That's about the worst that one can do from the topic of 'running rum' during Prohibition.From my angle, I wouldn't even wanted to watch this one again, if there was nothing else available.

French Adventure Comedy with Brigitte BARDOT and Lino VENTURA

During the prohibition period, the three-mile zone on the American coast was a busy shipping area. This was the only place where alcohol smugglers could get their forbidden goods past the coast guard and to the thirsty souls of America. The powerful but somewhat stupid Captain Cornelius von Zeelinga (Lino VENTURA) also travels along this "rum boulevard" on his various ships. On his journeys between Cuba, Jamaica and America, the film fan repeatedly sees adventure films with the popular silent film diva Linda LaRue (Brigitte BARDOT), who knows how to enthuse her audiences, especially in skimpy leopard skin costumes. One day the captain actually gets to know the blonde beauty. This is accompanied by the most hair-raising events. Because the voluptuous diva is not only followed by her film family (Guy MARCHAND as a dapper screen partner), but soon also by an English lord (Clive REVILL), who even wants to make the cheeky blonde a margravine.This French film by Robert ENRICO was shot mainly in Mexico and Belize (formerly British Honduras). Without a stringent plot, the turbulent comedy is entertaining with its bizarre ideas and slapstick interludes. BARDOT in particular can really put on a great show and shows in various silent film scenes what enormous star power she had. BB also goes all out comedic, so that the film from the legendary French film studio GAUMONT is remembered above all for her presence.
