Synopsis
Charles Chaplin
wrote, directed, and scored this old-fashioned romantic comedy, which proved to be his last film. Wealthy American diplomat Ogden Mears (
Marlon Brando
) is sailing from Hong Kong to Hawaii, where he hopes to meet and reconcile with his estranged wife Martha (
Tippi Hedren
). However, while the ship takes on passengers in Hong Kong, a stowaway slips into Mears' suite. Natascha (
Sophia Loren
) is a White Russian countess who was forced to flee the country following the revolution and ended up in Hong Kong, where she earns a meager living as a dime-a-dance girl in a sleazy ballroom. When Mears discovers that Natascha is an uninvited guest in his quarters, she begs him to help her emigrate to the United States; when he refuses, Natascha tries a new tack, threatening to tell Martha that they've been sharing a stateroom if he doesn't cooperate. Mears grudgingly allows Natascha to stay with him and keep her secret until he can figure out a clever way to get rid of her.
Margaret Rutherford
has a showy supporting role as an eccentric passenger, and Chaplin gives himself a silent cameo as a bumbling porter (no fewer than four of his children also appear). ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
