My father and his family saw a lot of films with René Dary, "120 Rue de la gare" being their favorite. He excelled in sailors, and in here, he's again dynamic and charming, well surrounded by truculent Julien Carette and Aimos (as the mute). There are some funny boozing scenes, of course with sailors what else, and a light sentimental suspense. And a threatening bartender and his "blend of the boss" (mélange du patron). Very entertaining comedy and direction by Albert Valentin is competent, but his 2 best movies are the 2 following, "Marie Martine" and the vitriolic "la Vie de plaisir".
