Cabin Boy (Film)

Cabin Boy is a bizarre fantasy film produced by Tim Burton which starred comedian Chris Elliott. Elliott cowrote the film with Adam Resnick. Both men worked for the Late Night with David Letterman TV show in the 1980s. The film was financially unsucessful, but has gained something of a cult following. Elliott plays a snobby "fancy lad" school boy named Nathaniel Merriweather, who, upon graduation, mistakes the ship Filthy Whore for the Queen Catherine, a luxury cruise liner bound for Hawaii. Merriweather learns of his mistake only after the ship sets sail, so he is forced to do his best to convince the four filthy seamen to take him to Hawaii to be reunited with his father, played by Bob Elliott. The crew (and accidental passenger) of the Filthy Whore encounter a number of strange and disturbing beings, including an iceberg monster and Chocki the man-shark. The film includes a brief appearance from Elliott's former boss, David Letterman, as the crusty fishing village stuffed monkey salesman. Letterman preferred to be credited as "Earl Hofert" for his role. It also features former Late Night with Conan O'Brien sidekick Andy Richter as the Filthy Whore's dullard of a first mate, Kenny. The uncooth fishermen are played by Ritch Brinkley, Brian Doyle-Murray, James Gammon and Brion James.
