What happens

Watch it, Sailor! is a 1961 black-and-white British comedy film directed by Wolf Rilla for Hammer Films and starring Dennis Price, Liz Fraser and Irene Handl. The screenplay was by Falkland L. Cary and Philip King based on their 1960 play of the same name, a sequel to their earlier play, Sailor Beware, filmed in 1956. Bernard Robinson was Production Designer, Roy Ashton did Makeup, and Don Mingaye was the Art Director. The film was originally announced for Sydney Box Associates. It was shot at Hammer's Bray Studios in Berkshire. Production ran from January 24, 1961 through March 1, 1961, and it was released in the UK on August 14 to little fanfare and disappointing reviews (which was odd since the play had been so successful). This would be Hammer's last attempt at a comedy for many years thereafter. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
