The Doctor Prefers Sailors

1981 · 80 min

A chaotic, silly farce that bounces between hotel rooms and mishaps, easy to watch with low stakes and plenty of slapstick confusion.

Overview: A doctor in a hotel has a lot of problems like a man repeatedly fails to commit suicide, a pair of window washers witness a murder by a hit man, a suspicious wife checks up on her husband who happens to be having an affair with her and many more...
How it feels: Absurd, campy, light and satirical. Brisk and fine in the background.
About: Deception, crime, conspiracy, identity
Content: Strong sexual content. Mild violence and language. No gore.
Note: Written by AI, so it can be wrong. Full breakdown
