Sailor Beware! (1956) is a British comedy directed by Gordon Parry. It was released as Panic in the Parlor in the United States.[2][3]
The film is an adaptation of the successful stage play of the same name. It follows the story of a sailor betrothed to be married, but wary that home-life may echo that of her parents: a hen-pecked husband and battle-axe mother.
It is one of Michael Caine's first films; he has a small, uncredited role as a sailor.[4]
