Let me guess: one of those romantic comedies that are excellent material for torturers?

No, actually it's a hilarious 1940s classic with a nice darkish humour. I suppose you could call it a 'romantic comedy' because of the plot, but it's nothing like the sort of soppy trash you probably associate with that term...

Unfortunately I don't have a clue, but when someone guesses it right, you can bet on that I'm going to see it!

Hints:
1. The film begins and ends on a cruise ship.
2. In one famous scene, somebody accidentally trips over a sofa.
3. One of the minor characters is a gruff butler who fancies himself a detective. Everybody makes fun of him, but ironically, he's actually right all along (but he'll never be able to prove it).
4. One of the main actors later won an Oscar - exactly 40 years after this film was made.

Thanks, I have to check it out!
I'll grab next one:
No more few crew members against impossible odds. People don't even know what has happened, but they send a task force of professional elite forces to find out what's there. But again the heroine got to do what heroines' got to do.

in DG he become a senator, not a president. 
back to our movie: however despite being a good character (and the protagonist) he is not supposed to become president, and is relived of his title before the end of the movie.
