Based on the bestselling novel by Joseph C. Lincoln titled “Cap’n Eri.”
Set in Cape Cod at the turn of the century, three retired sea captains living together decide that the only way to keep their house in order is for one of them to get married. There is just one problem, none of them wants to get married. They decide to flip a coin and Captain Jerry Burgess loses. They place an ad for a mail order bride in a big city newspaper and a woman from Nantucket named Martha Snow responds. Captain Jerry immediately gets cold feet. In a humorous series of events, Captain Perez hatches a plan to keep Martha in town while Captain Jerry works up his confidence to propose.
However, it is Captain Zeb who falls in love with her and proposes.
Captain Jerry seems to take this news hard, but soon, he is dancing a jig celebrating his friend’s good fortune.
Wonderful entertainment--marvelous capturing of previously unappreciated (and perhaps undisplayed) comedic talents of Bruce Dern, Rip Torn, and David Carradine. Mariel Hemingway is perfect in her role as hired housekeeper whose charm and talent turn the three conivers' scheme upside down. Want to own a copy of this film. Great cast! When will it be released on DVD?
