Curiosità

Jazz Boat is a 1960 British black-and-white musical comedy film directed by Ken Hughes and starring Anthony Newley, Anne Aubrey, Lionel Jeffries and big band leader Ted Heath and his orchestra. It was written by John Antrobus and Hughes based on the 1960 novel Jazz Boat by Rex Rienits. The cinematographer was Nicolas Roeg.

Production

The book's author Rex Rienits later admitted that he disliked writing novels, but was in a career slump, so decided to write a novel to sell for cinematic rights.

Filming started 15 June 1959. A scene involving more than 200 extras was shot at Chislehurst Caves in Kent; on that night, the payroll was stolen, meaning they could not be paid. It was one of several low budget films from Warwick starring Anthony Newley.
