      Operation Petticoat


Prodcut Description: [More Information ...]
Blake Edwards's delightful 1959 comedy stars Cary Grant as a World War II submarine captain whose preference for a by-the-book command reluctantly yields to certain realities. Chief among those is that Grant's first officer (Tony Curtis, who impersonated Grant that same year in Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot), a shameless hustler, is better than the navy at delivering whatever supplies the ship and crew need to keep going. But when Curtis sneaks a handful of Philippine refugees and several gorgeous nurses onto the all-male sub, the skipper not only has to cool down his crew but deal with an unexpected feminine influence on ship protocol. The film is a great deal of fun, sprinkled with the director's trademark sight gags (including one of Edwards's best, involving a torpedo and jeep), and graced with his unmistakable lilt. Grant is in great form, his comic brilliance almost impossibly effortless. --Tom Keogh

Reviews:

"That's a strange color to be painting government property!"
Who doesn't love Cary Grant and Tony Curtis? As one of my favorites, it's humorous and a good feel good, family film. Even the kids love "the movie with the pink sub!" In their struggle to "get back in the war" the crew of the Sea Tiger find themselves in a number of predicaments.

One Great Line Among Many
One of the very funny lines comes from an officer watching through binoculars as Nick Holden brings a boat load of nurses back to the sub from a bombed island: "Wow -- now that's what I call scavenging!" The officer is played by Dick Sargent, the second Darin on "Bewitched." Matt Sherman comments that he's a little concerned about Lt. Holden's influence and recommends a little less "Wow" and a little more "Tsk Tsk."

this is very relaxing and entertaining movie that does not get old after you see it a few times. highly recommended

Submarine war adventure with comedy
I always did love Cary Grant and Tony Curtis - put them together in this movie and you have a something to laugh about - crusing around the pacific ocean in war time - on board of all things a pink submarime and what they got up to in getting her ready just to keep her afloat - here to the Seatiger and all the crew who rode in her - or as some would say here to all submariners may they keep our oceans free and safe.

cary grant
