Hey Babu Riba (Serbian: Bal na vodi) is a 1987 Yugoslavian romantic-drama film directed by Jovan Aćin. The screenplay (in Serbo-Croatian with English subtitles) is by Jovan Aćin, from the memories of Petar Jankovic, George Zecevic and Mr. Acin with music by Zoran Simjanović.
[edit] Plot
Evidently part of the story is based on Radomir Perica's life events who is jailed for getting and flaunting a Mickey Mouse tattoo. The title Hey Babu Riba seems to come from Lionel Hampton's Hey Ba Ba Re-Bop. Esther's character is an homage to Esther Williams whose music from Bathing Beauty is a main tune in the movie. There is also Comin' Round the Mountain sung in Serbo-Croatian.
