OPERATION PETTICOAT(1959)
NO CLOSED CAPTIONS!! UNFOGIVABLE!!
A great cast with some really great comedy in a pretty
serious situation(WW II)! One of Cary's best films! A
From IMDb.com:
As with most movies from a different era, the attitudes
are quite different. Feminists would hate this movie, if
they saw it today. Hollywood would never make it now in
first place, unless roles were reversed and men were made
to look like sex objects. That would meet PC double standards.
Nonetheless, agendas aside, there is a lot of good humor
in here; the story is interesting, and you get a well-known
cast with Cary Grant, Tony Curtis, Dina Merrill, Arthur
O'Connell, Gavin MacLeod and Marian Ross. The latter went
on to be big names on television more than movies, MacLeod
on "Mary Tyler Moore" and Ross on "Happy Days."
This was Happy Days on a ship, at least when some attractive
women board the vessel. Grant has the best lines in the
film - speaking lines, that is. Good entertainment. Lots
of laughs before the PC made it impossible to laugh at
anything, including ourselves. - ccthemovieman-1
