Jazz Boat is a 1960 British musical comedy film directed by Ken Hughes and starring Anthony Newley, Anne Aubrey, Lionel Jeffries and big band leader Ted Heath and his orchestra.
Electrician Bert Harris (Anthony Newley) boasts that he's a successful cat burglar; but then unexpectedly gets mixed up with real thieves who need his special skills for a big jewellery heist. Bert was only giving them a "song and dance" (literally) about being a cat burglar, but now discovers it's too late to back out.
TV Guide wrote, "While imitating American gangster films, this simple picture also provides a look at the British "Teddy Boy" subculture...some amusing situations, though none is particularly memorable"; while Leonard Maltin called it an "Energetic caper."
