Three retired sea captains, sharing a house on Cape Cod in 1905, decide they need a woman around the place and take out an ad for a mail-order bride. They get one, and it's Mariel Hemingway, but her would-be husband (Rip Torn) has cold feet. That's enough to get the story going, such as it is. It's a likeably low-key comedy that plays like a television pilot, and an affectionate showcase for its cast of aging stars. Carradine's especially good, showing that behind the zen persona, he had a deceptive range. He died the following year.
