Un beso en el puerto is a 1965 Spanish motion picture. The film was directed by Ramón Torrado, and stars Manolo Escobar, Ingrid Pitt, Antonio Ferrandis, María Isbert and Manuel Alexandre.
Plot Set in Benidorm during the 1960s, *Un beso en el puerto* follows Manolo, a gas-station attendant whose passion for singing eventually costs him his job. While trying to find his way in the bustling resort town, he encounters his old friend Jaime, a confident and sophisticated man who spends his summers socializing with foreign tourists.
Jaime reveals to Manolo the method he uses to make acquaintances with attractive female tourists arriving at the port of Alicante. His approach involves greeting a newly arrived traveler with an affectionate embrace and the words, “Welcome, Dorothy!”, before using the apparent mistake as an excuse to begin a conversation and establish a friendship.
Intrigued by Jaime's success, Manolo decides to try the same technique himself. Taking advantage of Jaime's absence, he borrows his friend's clothes and goes to the port, where he attempts to put the plan into practice. What begins as an imitation of Jaime's carefree lifestyle leads Manolo into a series of comic misunderstandings and romantic encounters as he tries to navigate the unfamiliar world of tourism, courtship, and summer life on the Spanish coast.
