Sailor Beware was originally released in England as Panic in the Parlour. The panic begins when a sailor named Albert (
Ronald Lewis) plans to get married to a gal named Shirley (
Shirley Eaton). On the day of the ceremony, Albert gets cold feet when he discovers that Shirley's gorgonlike mother Emma (
Peggy Mount) has bought a house just three doors away from their honeymoon cottage. The question now is: how long will it be before the worm turns and Emma is put in her place by both her prospective son-in-law and her henpecked husband? Based on a popular stage comedy,
Sailor Beware is worth watching today to spot an unbilled
Michael Caine in a bit part as one of Albert's fellow seamen. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
