Captain's Table has director Jack Lee at its own helm, riding high on the success of his 1956 A Town Like Alice.
Captain Ebbs (John Gregson) brings a part of his freighter experience with him as he takes charge of an ocean liner for the first time. He soon finds that the tactics that worked on the freighter do not work here, though his crew could use some discipline. His purser has sticky fingers, his chief officer has a roving eye, and
the steward has his own problems. And then there are passengers like the secret heiress, the charming widow, the temptress, the would-be novelist, and
the offensive VIP. Eventually, the
captain catches on to the nuances of his new role, confident that he and
the "Love Boat" can weather any storm. ...The
