Further Up the Creek is a 1958 British comedy film written and directed by Val Guest and starring David Tomlinson, Frankie Howerd, Shirley Eaton, Thora Hird and Lionel Jeffries.

[2] Navy frigate the "Aristotle" is sold to a Middle Eastern power, and against regulations the ship's bosun tries to make a profit by selling tickets to passengers seeking a luxury cruise.

In the prevailing poverty David Tomlinson and Frankie Howerd have to resort to grotesque capers to persuade themselves that they are being funny – but with only intermittent success.

Shirley Eaton, acting come-hither with supreme lack of restraint, beams her way good-humouredly through a non-existent role, and only Thora Hird, with her bitter aggressiveness, can bring a dash of badly needed astringency into this rather assorted mixture of established gags.

Exploiting the sale of his ship to the ruler of Algerocco by flogging tickets for a Mediterranean cruise, Frankie Howerd (not a natural before the movie camera) works every gag, as the floating con trick is called to action stations.
