Retired friends Charlie (Walter Matthau) and Herb (Jack Lemmon) pose as dance instructors on a cruise ship in this comedy. The underhanded Charlie coaxes his recently widowed brother-in-law to join him on board without disclosing the two will need to dance. Instead, Charlie promises there will be plenty of available and lonely women at sea. Once on the ship, Charlie's promise proves accurate, and he starts romancing the wealthy Liz (Dyan Cannon), while Herb falls for Vivian (Gloria DeHaven).

A botched excuse for a madcap comedy.

The desperately overboard coming-attractions clip suggests something like Speed 0: Bladder Control--so it's a relief that this film's own seamanly "action" finale involves nothing more adventurous than shooting off a flare.

The Matthau-Lemmon magic still works in this later-in-their-careers comedy.
