Amazon.com 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
One Great Line Among ManyOctober 22, 2008 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."
xOctober 18, 2008 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 comedySeptember 29, 2008 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.
