THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET


 "THE INCREDIBLE MR. LIMPET" --- (1964) --- 

MY THOUGHTS: Not all "war movies" are serious or violent. This one is proof of that. This particular one is funny, clever, entertaining for the whole family, makes good use of special effects and tells a unique story. Don Knotts proves that he is so funny, that he can be funny as an animated fish! The rest of the cast, both cartoon and human, do their jobs well to support his character and add to the laughs / further the storytelling. It is very much worth the watch and is bound to become a much-loved family favorite!
SYNOPSIS: "Aquatic life fanatic Henry Limpet falls into the sea and transforms into a fish, quickly becoming pals with a crab and developing a romantic bond with a fetching female fish. As a human, Henry was passed over for naval service. But now that he's a fish, he seeks out his friend Lt. George Stickel. Finding him on a small boat in the Atlantic, Henry explains that he can alert sailors when enemy ships are close by, and soon he's helping America win World War II."
STARRING: Don Knotts, Carole Cook, Jack Weston, Paul Frees, Andrew Duggan, Elizabeth MacRae, Oscar Beregi, Jr., Larry Keating and Charles Meredith.
SCREENPLAY: Joe DiMona, Jameson Brewer and John C. Rose; based on "Mr. Limpet" 1942 novel by Theodore Pratt.
DIRECTOR: Arthur Lubin
