No, you're thinking of Moby Dick, perhaps, uh, wait, no, they do share a bed 
at one point, but not in 'Sailors Beware', I don't think...perhaps I'm 
mistaken. I may be thinking 'Sailor Beware', not L&H, but L&M, Jerry Lewis 
and Dean Martin, (1951) or 'Sailor Beware' (1921) or even 'Sailor Beware!' 
(1956). Perhaps the ribbon's inscription is intended as a fairly open 
reference.

But 'Sailors Beware', the L&H version, does include Harry Earles from Tod 
Browning's 'Freaks', (a film which screened on the tube here last weekend 
and should be repeated regularly) as a midget con-artist who masquerades as 
a baby. Just the sort of weird cinema which features in GR, I think.
