Released in 1931, Captain Craddock is a Franco-German musical film directed by Hanns Schwarz and Max de Vaucorbeil. It's a lively comedy of romance and maritime adventure, with a memorable soundtrack composed by Werner R. Heymann.
Among the songs in the film, Les Gars de la Marine is undoubtedly the most famous. Written by Jean Boyer, it is performed by Jean Murat and the Comedian Harmonists. The song celebrates the lives of sailors, with lively lyrics and a catchy rhythm that evokes the spirit of camaraderie and adventure on the high seas.
Synopsis
Captain Craddock, commander of a cruiser whose crew hasn't been paid for months, decides to call his country's consul in Monaco to account. He discovers that one of his passengers, Princess Yola, is in fact the sovereign of Pontenero. An inveterate gambler, he squandered a sum of money at the Monte Carlo casino and threatened to bomb the Principality if his losses were not reimbursed. Finally, the princess convinces him to leave with her for new horizons.
