About Professor Columbus
An old librarian, Professor Columbus, wants to go to the sea once in his lifetime. So he buys a big ship and takes a boat trip across the North Sea to London, accompanied by a bunch of stoned hippies, and chased by the police.
Directed by Rainer Erler, Professor Columbus leans on a strong ensemble — Rudolf Platte, Jeroen Krabbé, Louise Martini — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about comedy titles of 1968.
