Synopsis
Two unlikely candidates are conscripted into the Navy and soon find themselves out of their depth. With Al’s dodgy knee and Melvin’s allergy to women’s makeup, neither man is cut out for the marines. CPO Lardoski tries to make waves for the hapless rookies by wagering that Melvin must kiss Corinne, a sexy nightclub singer. Complications ensue when Al moves in on Corrine and Lardoski tries to have Melvin arrested.

Product Description
Peggy Mount stars as the world's most terrifying mother in law in this British Comedy favourite based on the hugely successful stage farce!

5.0 out of 5 stars At her best, 13 April 2008

By	M. J. Rossiter (UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This is Peggy Mount's film. Nobody else could ever play this part, and I only hope it is never remade because it won't work.
She plays the role of a very mouthy, brash housewife who dominates not only her husband, but everybody else. Her comedy timing is excellent, and she never managed to do anything better than this.
Made in the days before British comedy became smutty, this film should reign amongst the classics.
Thora Hird is also very good as her snooty neighbour, and Esma Cannon is superb as a dotty old lady, but the film belongs to Peggy.
I lent this to a friend of mine who wasn't that eager to watch it, and he found it absolutely hilarious.
If you enjoy comedy like the Ealing pictures, you will enjoy this

5.0 out of 5 stars Peggy Mount is a Megastar, 3 April 2008

By	Janet M. Nicolson "Pommie Born, Aussie Bred" (Canberra, Australia) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I love this movie and all comedy movies from this era, Peggy Mount is brilliant, and I could not think of another actress who could play this role. Shirley Eaton is just beautiful and Esma Cannon, well, what a bright star she is, anything she is in is worth watching, another great Aussie actress. Do yourself a favour, WATCH and ENJOY.

5.0 out of 5 stars Peggy Mount at her very best!, 15 Sep 2007

By	FAMOUS NAME (UNITED KINGDOM) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER)

Sailor Beware has a galaxy of stars, but the late and great Peggy Mount has her greatest film role ever as the dragonistic future mother-in-law of an unfortunate sailor, played by Ronald Lewis.

Some big names here, but none can match Peggy Mount's thundering portrayal of a hen-pecking wife and nagging mother. She steals the show, and as a result, the rest of the cast almost fade into insignificance!

Peggy Mount will be best remembered for her work in television during the 1960s and 70s - who starred along side other comedy greats such as Sid James and Pat Coombs.

Sailor Beware is a gem not to be missed, and has been a very long time coming out on DVD.

Pre-order your copy today - and enjoy!
