The Admirable Crichton

Directed by George Schaefer

With Bill Travers, Virginia McKenna, Janet Munro, Laurence Naismith and Richard Easton

A group of people are shipwrecked when their yacht runs aground on a South Pacific island. The usual hierarchy in an upper-class British family breaks down quickly when it becomes apparent that only the servant, Crichton, is capable of surviving on his own and he becomes the community's leader.
