Swing It, Sailor (Grand National, 1938) Comedy starring Wallace Ford, Ray Mayer, Isabel Jewell, Mary Treen. Directed by Raymond Cannon. Husky Stone (Ray Mayer), strongest man in the Navy, and as short on brains as he is as long on muscle, has an urge to get married, as his enlistment is up. The object of his affection is Myrtle Montrose (Isabal Jewell), a typical “Sweetheart of the Navy.” Seeking to discourage Husky’s plans is his pal, Pete Kelly (Wallace Ford), who uses Husky to fight his battles and do his work.

H.M.S. Pinafore HMS Pinafore; or, The Lass That Loved a Sailor is a comic opera in two acts, with music by Arthur Sullivan and a libretto by W. S. Gilbert. It opened at the Opera Comique in London, England, on 25 May 1878 and ran for 571 performances, which was the second-longest run of any musical theatre piece up to that time. HMS Pinafore was Gilbert and Sullivan’s fourth operatic collaboration and their first international sensation. The story takes place aboard the British ship HMS Pinafore. The captain’s daughter, Josephine, is in love with a lower-class sailor, Ralph Rackstraw, although her father intends her to marry Sir Joseph Porter, the First Lord of the Admiralty. —HMS Pinafore on wikipedia
