Three Men in a Boat is a 1956 British CinemaScope colour comedy film directed by Ken Annakin, starring Laurence Harvey, Jimmy Edwards, David Tomlinson and Shirley Eaton.

George meets three girls, Sophie Clutterbuck and sisters Bluebell and Primrose Porterhouse, who are also taking a ride up the river, and he hopes to see them again.

The travellers get into various complications with the weather, the river, the boat, food, the Hampton Court Maze, tents, rain and locks.

Unfortunately, the curious adaptation and clumsy handling have effectively destroyed most of the charm and humour of the original book.
