action

On the island of Monte Bello, ballet rats suffer from their teacher. He bullies them with hard work, unnecessary speech, and little food. When a Swedish ship calls into port, the master has trouble keeping his girls in the house. The scandalous news in the press moved the Admiralty to impose a curfew. But the sailor Bob doesn't want to give up his ballet Eva. His comrades must look for him. This leads to a solid fight between them and the police called by the ballet teacher. After a few tangles, the sun is shining again. Bob gets Eva, the admiral finds his childhood sweetheart again and the sailor Sam gets away without marriage.

criticism

"Swedish film garnished with silly jokes."

“An unimaginative and boringly staged film (...) on the theme of“ love and the sea ”, which neither the jokes of Dirch Passer nor the puns of dialogue and the tired pop songs can make a success. Even for children from 6 years to sleep. "
