The Captain's Paradise trailer
 
Henry St. James is a Mediterranean ferryboat captain who lives a double-life. One woman is his English wife Maud who lives in Gibraltar and the other is his sassy mistress Nita in Tangiers. His life is smooth and he is content living the way he does, as long as the women do not find out his secret.
