I though that grammatically the title should be "Drei Männer in einem Boot" instead of "Drei Mann in einem Boot". Could any German speaking friend explain me this oddity ?

It's just a German phrase tp say that there are three people in the boat - I haven't seen this film so I could not say if there are really three man in the boat.
Anyway, it's just a German phrase like "Hundert Mann der Polizei suchten nach der Vermissten" - it's only to say that there were something about 100 people, not only men.

Before I forget - if there's something wrong with my explanation, correct me, please.

Thank you very much.
If I undestood well, saying "Drei Man" instead than "Drei Männer" points out better that the people are three.

i have seen it many times, and the other reason for phrase is rhyme metre of song
compare Zwei-Mann-Jolle = two-man dinghy
U boat Mannloch = manhole but Männer-Loch unknown :D

The unchanged plural Mann is sometimes used after numerals. It means "men" as a measure for size or strength of a group, rather than individuals. For example: Mit drei Mann können wir den Schrank heben "With three people we can lift the cupboard." Military or police personnel, team members, demonstrators, and the like, are often counted using this unchanged plural. (This may actually include women.)
