ADMIRAL WAS A LADY, THE(1950)
Four former soldiers are determined to keep unemployed
and drawing benifits! They run into a fine looking young
lady who's trying to get back together with her boyfriend!
A dude who owns a big jukebox company has been having the
guys followed, and he blackmails them into keeping the
lady in town. The reason, her "boyfriend" has taken up
with the dude's ex and he wants her back!! B
From a reviewer at IMDb.com:
found this gem on a free streaming video site - not
likely to see it anywhere else. Really enjoyable movie
set just after WWII about a woman ensign (nicknamed
the admiral) who falls in with a gang of lovable
losers - four ex-GIs who work diligently from dusk
to dawn at finding ways to avoid work. There's a silly
subplot about them trying to get her back together
with her long lost fiancee, and an even sillier
sub-sub plot about a rich millionaire and meddling
detectives. The main point of interest is the repartee
between the "admiral" and the men. Sometimes she's
tough as nails, but at other points it's like
Dorothy's relationship with the tin man, the lion
and the scarecrow. Would really like to see a
computer-enhanced remake with Humphrey Bogart as
Jimmy, Marilyn Monroe as Jean and Edward Herrmann
as the millionaire. Favorite line - "how can such
a nice man be so useless?" - dm032
