Sailor Beware by Phillip King & Falkland L Cary
Rene Levenspiel was back after a hiatus and produced this classic English farce for us which played on Thursday 23 November and Friday 24 November 1967. Sailor Beware was first produced on stage in 1955 and later made into a movie with Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis. It is naturally set in the navy and as a movie it was converted into a musical comedy. Because of a mix-up, Melvin Jones (in the movie, Jerry Lewis) is inducted into the Navy, despite his numerous allergies. When appearing on a TV show sponsored by a lipstick manufacturer, a series of bizarre circumstances cause him to be perceived as an irresistibly good kisser, and he is undeservedly hyped by the media as 'Mr ... Temptation'. His shipmates bet their pay that he can get sexy French chanteuse Corinne Calvet (appearing in the film as herself) to kiss him. Despite his allergy to kissing girls, he tries not to let them down - even though it threatens his relationship with his erstwhile girlfriend Hilda (who was played by Marion Marshall in the movie).
