- Synopsis:
- The Thames provides a backdrop to the high-spirited clowning of rubber-faced vaudevillian Leslie Fuller in this breezy nautical comedy co-scripted by BAFTA nominee Val Valentine and Fuller's regular collaborator, Syd Courtenay. Direction comes from silent-era and Hal Roach/Laurel and Hardy veteran Ralph Ceder. Made at the height of his fame in 1935, 'Captain Bill' features Fuller in the hugely popular role of the dim-witted Cockney - this time as a luckless bargee who unwittingly gets himself involved with a gang of gun-runners! Also starring Fuller's stalwart sidekick Hal Gordon...
