Wherever the merchant navy <\/span>bo<\/span>atswain goes, trouble follows, with the rest of the crew usually tagging along. When he enters a bar, brawls happen like refrains in a song. Come morning, the purser might throw some money for the damage with proper disdain at the establishment’s owner, but the captain is worried: What about discipline? That damn boatswain simply needs to settle down. To get matters moving, the captain grabs the bull by the horns: his libido. Enter the foxy lady journalist who’s allowed to sail along on the vessel’s next voyage to scenic Leningrad. She\u2019s entrusted by the captain with a secret mission: seduce the boatswain, reject the boatswain, drive the boatswain nuts enough to make him propose \u2013 with the latter part not mentioned to the journalist, as she’s also not the marrying kind as such. Sneaky bastard, that captain! But lust and a love of independence see to an unexpected turn of events.<\/span><\/p>\n

Gaudy. Exuberant. Weird. Hollywood-glitzy (almost). Possibly a bit gay. Definitely cherishing women checking out hot sailor asses. If you watched Joachim Hasler’s <\/span>Hot Summer<\/span><\/i> (1968) in Sodankyl\u00e4 two years ago, don’t think you know what awaits here \u2013 <\/span>Journey into the Nuptial Bed <\/span><\/i>is <\/span>very<\/span><\/i> different!
