Ernest Borgnine and John Mills star in this butchering of the Ray Lawlor play about cane cutters in the off - season.
Borgnine, known at the time as the star in "McHale's Navy", is the middle aged labourer (actually about 33 years old or so in the play) past his prime and Mills is his mate.
Angela Lansbury plays herself as a widow replacing Mills' girlfriend. In the play she was more salty than high class.
In the play, "Barney" - played by Mills - was still a fairly young man (still in his mid-ish twenties).
There is an odd scene where Bubba, the young ingenue is a barmaid filling up schooners with dregs (a Scottish bar ?).
Product placements - Peters Icecream (twice), Brylcreem, Toohey Old (twice), TAA (airlines), Tooths (beer) and Bex (twice - aspirin).
