Barnacle Bill (U.S. title: All at Sea) is a 1957 Ealing Studios comedy film directed by Charles Frend and starring Alec Guinness.[3] It was written by T. E. B. Clarke. Guinness plays an unsuccessful Royal Navy officer and six of his maritime ancestors.

This was the final Ealing comedy (although some sources[citation needed] list Davy (1958) as the last), and the last film Guinness made for Ealing Studios.
