San Ferry Ann
San Ferry Ann is a 1965 British sound effect comedy directed by Jeremy Summers with an ensemble cast including David Lodge, Joan Sims, Wilfrid Brambell, Rodney Bewes and Barbara Windsor. It was written and produced by Bob Kellett. Wordlessly, with soundtrack and sound effects, it tells the story of a holiday crossing from Dover to Calais. The title is a corruption of the French phrase "ça ne fait rien", meaning "it doesn't matter".
Plot
A motley group of British characters ride the ''San Ferry Ann'' to France, where they embark on a weekend of calamity. A campervan family, led by Dad and Mum, create chaos from the moment they set their tyres on the shore, resulting in frequent run-ins with the Gendarmerie. Lewd Grandad finds his own misadventures with a newly acquainted friend, a crazy German ex-soldier. Also aboard for the ride is a saucy hitchhiker, who causes a few heads to turn, including that of a fellow traveller, who pursues her affection with comic results.
