Vague, yet haunting, memories, 23 November 2002
Author: Blueghost from the San Francisco Bay Area

It's been years since I've seen this version of the 1950's Cary Grant film. I don't recall much other than I believe this was supposed to be the pilot to a series based on the adventures and misadventures of the Sea Tiger and her crew. It certainly didn't have an all star cast by any means, and the gags (recollecting them as best as I can) fell short of amusing adults.

If this thing ever rears its head again one can only hope it'll be donated to the local libraries on either Beta or on audio casette format for that video camera that was marketed to kids a decade or so back (remember the one?).

Made for TV remakes of classic films should teach the film industry one thing; DON'T DO THEM.
