Dalia And The Sailors ( Hebrew: דליה והמלחים) is an Israeli comedy film directed by Menahem Golan and produced by Mordecai Navon. [2] It was Menachem Golan's second film. [3]
Dalia ( Véronique Vendell) immigrated with her parents as a child from Israel to Canada. As a young woman, she misses Israel and wants to return. She sneaks on board a freighter sailing from to Israel but is soon discovered by the crew who try to hide her from the captain ( Shraga Friedman) and the other officers. [2] [3]
Dalia and the Sailors sold 599,000 tickets, making it the 28th most popular Israeli film in Israeli film history. [5] This is the first Israeli movie ever to feature nudity, although partial and by a foreign actress (Veronique Vendell). Her brief nude scene contributed much to the movie's popularity when it was first released. [6]
The music for the movie was composed by Itzhak Graziani. Neomi Shemer composed two songs for the films, the title song "Na'arat HaSipun" (The Deck Girl; Hebrew: נערת הסיפון) and "Layla BeHof Achziv" (Night at Achziv Beach; Hebrew: לילה בחוף אכזיב) which was performed by Yarkon Bridge Trio and later released on the trio's debut album.
A four-song Extended play was issued for the film. [7] The EP didn't contain two more songs that were performed in the movie, "Layla BeHof Achziv" and "Ktovet Ka'aka" (Tattoo; Hebrew: כתובת קעקע) by Theatre Club Quartet (with Hanan Goldblatt replacing original member Shimon Bar), which was previously released by the quartet in 1958.
