What happens

San Ferry Ann is a 1965 British sound effect comedy directed by Jeremy Summers with an ensemble cast including David Lodge, Joan Sims, Wilfrid Brambell, Rodney Bewes and Barbara Windsor. It was written and produced by Bob Kellett. Wordlessly, with soundtrack and sound effects, it tells the story of a holiday crossing from Dover to Calais. The title is a corruption of the French phrase "ça ne fait rien", meaning "it doesn't matter". (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
