Summary: Always worth watching!!! Extremely funny!
Review: I can't begin to think of how many times I have seen this film. As a kid, as a teenager, as a young adult... I still find myself watching it whenever it comes on.A pink submarine.... Imagine seeing that..... Tony Curtis as the "Scrounger". He's perfect for the part. Cary Grant is as cool as ever. I always like to watch him. The way he can act so calm and cool even when the most outlandish situations are presented...

Summary: Fantastic Film!!
Review: I enjoy watching this movie, over and over again! It's one of my favorites (of older and newer movies). Cary Grant and Tony Curtis are wonderful. Curtis is cunning and charming, while Grant is the strong leader, with a sense of adventure and humor. Many classic lines, like "now that's what I call scavenging!" (referring to Curtis returning with a boat full of nurses). At times, too funny for words. The little scenes that take place all over the sub are just classic. A delightful and funny movie!!

Summary: Great Cary Grant movie!
Review: I love Cary Grant comedies, and this is one of his best. This isn't a "dumb comedy." Not too much of the heavy-handed slapstick that can be irritating. Very lively and entertaining--and fun.

Summary: One of the greatest comedic war movies of all time!!
Review: If you want to find a great war comedy, look no further than the 1959 classic, "Operation Petticoat." There are some great action, romance and comedic scenes which gather to combust into an explosion of great fun. It earned an Academy Award nomination for, "Best Screenplay" in 1959. You've got to see this movie!!!!!!

Summary: lightweight WWII comedy still worth catching
Review: Like submarines, this flick really doesn't have that much keeping itself above the waterline. The USS Sea Tiger is almost completely destroyed when attacked by the Japanese in port in 1941. Through the pluck of its commanding officer, Matt Sherman (Cary Grant) and the scheming of his very un-military XO (Tony Curtis), the stricken sub is pulled together enough to make it out to sea, where it suffers a series of embarrassing misadventures - the crowning indignity being the coat of pink paint it must wear when their isn't enough gray. In between, the sub faces off against a squad of army nurses, a family of Filipino refugees, a goat, and a torpedoed jeep - all without killing a fly. It's not great comedy, but the flick gets by with Curtis as Holden who can always get what he wants, and never wants active-duty (when he tells Grant that he had seen action on a destroyer, Grant is dumbstruck that Curtis ever found time for it between golfing with admirals and dancing at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel). The flick actually belongs to Grant as the prim and perfect Sherman who tries to mold Curtis into a proper officer and finds himself being molded in his likeness instead. (When sailors find their port facilities stripped to provide replacement parts for Sea Tiger, a forlorn admiral concludes that they've witnessed "Sherman's march to the sea".) The leads aside, "Petticoat" is actually a great time capsule of a time in Hollywood when the military was still respected - in more modern flicks, the street smarts of Curtis's character would make him the hero and the wisest of all. But the script makes him a pathetic weasel to be whipped into shape by the proper Sherman, who of course sees right through Holden.

Summary: All Hands will Emergency Surface with Laughter
Review: My favorite part of this hilarious Cary Grant and Tony Curtis romp was when Tony Curtis reports for duty to a WW II submarine in his dress whites. The rest of the crew -- greasy and grimy from trying to get their critically damaged boat into good enough condition to limp to another friendly base laugh their heads off when looking through the periscope they spot Curtis looking a little out of place on the busy pier. However, much to their surprise, Curtis proves himself invaluable as the boats "Supply" officer who does an unequalled job in "procuring" the badly needed parts for the boat in early supply shortened portion of the war in pacific. Come to find out this smoozing, angle hunting "idea man" who had been on the Admiral's staff and "Champion Rumba Dancer" (with the Admiral's wife) really was a street-wise guy from wrong side of the tracks in NY City. And to top it off the Boat ends up with stranded Army Nurses all this makes for a great movie -- how the submarine ends up pink and how they torpedo an enemy truck I will leave to you find out. Do yourself a favor and get this movie. What a hoot!-- K.K. Dunn (Submarine Veteran), Kansas City

Summary: chug-chug
Review: Okay boys...movie-junkies are patiently waiting for the DVD release of this film...and while I'm a-wishin', how about sweetening up the soundtrack with some DTS effects? Oh, to hear the engines of this boat chug and wheeze in hi-fi surround sound...
