What happens

Jazz Boat is a 1960 British black-and-white musical comedy film directed by Ken Hughes and starring Anthony Newley, Anne Aubrey, Lionel Jeffries and big band leader Ted Heath and his orchestra. It was written by John Antrobus and Hughes based on the 1960 novel Jazz Boat by Rex Rienits. The cinematographer was Nicolas Roeg. Many of the cast and the same director also made In the Nick (1960) which was a sequel although Newley plays a different role. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
