(DVD, Lionsgate)
A bored suburban couple receive an unexpected inheritance and use it to quit their jobs and travel the world. Unfortunately, he suffers from debilitating seasickness which keeps him in bed, while his wife uses the time to flirt with a handsome bachelor. Not to be outdone, when he finally gets his sea legs the husband picks up a flirty "princess". The two couples see little of each other until the princess disappears with a load of money. They reunite with barely enough money to book a trip home. However, the ship is involved in a collision, trapping them in their room, apparently doomed to drown together. They survive and are rescued the next day, eventually ending up back in their same old suburban routine. Entertaining if somewhat preposterous early Hitchcock, a sort of suburban fantasy.
