Captain Busby: The Even Tenour of Her Ways

  • Genre: Comedy
  • Run time: 16 min
  • Premiere: 1967. June 1.

The first half of Ann Wolff's BFI-funded short sees the eponymous captain (played by O'Connor) enacting the bizarre actions of the verse, chewing his beard, bouncing through a window and "frowning at a passing ceiling". In the second half, a curious interplay involving a carrot unfolds at a railway station.
