Reception

Dalia and the Sailors sold 599,000 tickets, making it the 28th most popular Israeli film in Israeli film history.[5] This is the first Israeli movie ever to feature nudity, although partial and by a foreign actress (Veronique Vendell). Her brief nude scene contributed much to the movie's popularity when it was first released.[6]

Soundtrack

The music for the movie was composed by Itzhak Graziani. Neomi Shemer composed two songs for the films, the title song "Na'arat HaSipun" (The Deck Girl; Hebrew: נערת הסיפון) and "Layla BeHof Achziv" (Night at Achziv Beach; Hebrew: לילה בחוף אכזיב) which was performed by Yarkon Bridge Trio and later released on the trio's debut album.

A four-song Extended play was issued for the film.[7] The EP didn't contain two more songs that were performed in the movie, "Layla BeHof Achziv" and "Ktovet Ka'aka" (Tattoo; Hebrew: כתובת קעקע) by Theatre Club Quartet (with Hanan Goldblatt replacing original member Shimon Bar), which was previously released by the quartet in 1958.[8]
