Barnacle Bill is a 1957 Ealing Studios comedy film directed by Charles Frend and starring Alec Guinness. It was written by T. E. B. Clarke. Guinness plays an unsuccessful Royal Navy officer and six of his maritime ancestors.

Production

Guinness appeared in the film as a favour to the director. In later years, he recalled it as "wretched, (a film) ... I never wanted to do and only did out of friendship to Charley Frend." Although Barnacle Bill was the last Ealing comedy, it was shot at Hunstanton Pier and Elstree Studios, as Ealing Studios had closed and was sold to the BBC for television production.
