The Lady Takes a Sailor (1949): A girl devoted to telling the truth insists on proving her story of a mysterious submarine which saved her after a sailing accident. Curious romantic farce with echoes of the old slapstick tradition.

The Lady Takes a Sailor (1949): A lonely woman tells people her (imaginary) husband is a sailor to explain his absence, until one day a strange man dressed as a sailor appears, pretending to be her husband.

The Lady Takes a Sailor (1949): Usually cited in error without the final ellipsis, this Crown Films classroom reel instructs young ladies on appropriate things to do with seamen. Charity and Cherry learn from their girlfriends that some privates will be coming in, and we follow them through their encounters. Charity meets her sailor with another girlfriend, so they both take him downtown for a nut-covered, double-dipped cone and to see that his trousers get pressed. Cherry goes alone to meet the ship and is greeted by two first mates who enjoy cruising, so they bring her offshore in a pleasure boat. The boys wind up roughhousing each other, capsizing the boat and leaving Cherry lost at sea.

The Lady Takes a Sailor (1949): A 3 oz. can of tomato paste sheds its can and waddles up the Massachusetts Turnpike in search of the girl from the Coppertone billboards. Meanwhile, in a different movie, the lady takes a sailor. Hampered by poor casting (e.g. Cary Grant as the tomato paste). British title: I Say, Old Chap, How 'Bout a Spot of Lady-Takin'-A-Sailor, Dash it All!
