It's a lavish film, with gesture, acting, props (the ship! the island!), and vomit.

Award-winning British actor Dr. Oliver Ford Davies is celebrating his 84th birthday today. (It’s also Erwin Schrödinger’s 136th birthday, but as he died in 1961 and Mr. Davies is still very much alive —, we are celebrating Oliver Ford Dr. Davies today, not an Austrian physicist).
