Een pige og 39 sømænd

This festive comedy centers around a pretty radio operator named Else who joins the crew of the M/S Warrigal. Set against the backdrop of a male-dominated ship, the narrative challenges traditional norms as her presence disrupts the crew's age-old traditions. The film is based on Else Boyes' best-selling novel and features a catchy theme song that resonated with audiences at the time, though its final verse was controversially omitted.

The film showcases the journey from Brønshøj to Bangkok, reflecting both the adventure and the cultural shifts of the era. With a talented cast including Birgit Sadolin and Karl Stegger, it presents a humorous take on the dynamics between men and women aboard a ship. Collectors of classic international cinema will find this film notable for its themes and the depiction of a changing society in the 1960s.
