    Ruined by silly sub plot
    Obviously based on the exploits of Prince Charles when he was in the Royal Navy.This is a pleasant sightseeing tour of Japan with a slight romantic plot and a rather silly sub plot involving attempted assassination. It was good to see such stalwart character actors as Peter Jones and Charles Grey.Lewis Gilbert had a long and successful career but this was not one of his better films.
