OPERATION PETTICOAT
"OPERATION PETTICOAT" --- (1959) ---
MY THOUGHTS:
This movie has a unique and comical storyline about a commander who finds himself stuck with a decrepit (and pink) submarine, a con man executive officer, and a group of army nurses during WWII. It also has a great cast, headed by Cary Grant and Tony Curtis. It is an entertaining and fun film. I highly recommend it for anyone looking for a few laughs or a "war movie" that isn't too heavy and is absent battle scenes.
SYNOPSIS:
"Lieutenant Commander Matt Sherman is in charge of the submarine "Sea Tiger," which was badly damaged at a Philippine shipyard by a Japanese air raid. Seeking to make sail before an oncoming invasion, Sherman enlists the help of newly transferred Lieutenant Nick Holden to use his talents as a con artist to procure the needed supplies. Once they're underway, Sherman evacuates a group of beautiful nurses, but can't find anyone who will take them off his hands."
