The Girl on the Boat is a 1962 British comedy film directed by Henry Kaplan and starring Norman Wisdom, Millicent Martin and Richard Briers.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Norman Wisdom here attempts something more reticent than his customary over-extrovert style.
Despite the convincing enough twenties setting, the Wodehouse story, a few good moments, and a choice piece of character playing here and there, nothing about the film quite comes off.
Wisdom is essentially an actor whom one either likes a great deal or not at all, but even his supporters might scratch their heads at this, and prefer the usual figure with the funny cap.
It doesn't work for Wisdom, though it does for the less mannered professionals in support such as Richard Briers, Millicent Martin and Athene Seyler".
