Movie Reviews of The Wackiest Ship in the Army

Movie Review: Welcome to the Army at it's best
Summary: 5 Stars

During World War II the Army recruits Navy officer Rip Crandall (Jack Lemmon) to command a battered old schooner for a top-secret mission. If you are ready for a bunch of misfits getting into one fix after another then you will enjoy this movie. Jack Lemmon and Ricky Nelson make a great team in this World War II comedy. Just think I have even worked along side some of these type people in the Real Navy. Oh boy, Your tax dollars at work. So sit back, Relax and get that buttery popcorn for one of the best comedies from way back when.

Summary of The Wackiest Ship in the Army

Jack Lemmon and Ricky Nelson get that sinking feeling when they pilot THE WACKIEST SHIP IN THE ARMY in this hilarious comedy-adventure. During World War II the Army recruits Navy officer Rip Crandall (Lemmon) to command a battered old schooner for a top-secret mission. Masquerading as a Japanese fishing boat this nautical nightmare must smuggle a spy through mine-infested waters of the South Pacific. Unfortunately for Crandall he has inherited a wild crew of butterfingered landlubbers including First Officer Tommy Hanson (Nelson). Can the dedicated lieutenant whip these comically inexperienced gobs into shape in time to carry out their perilous mission? Starring: Jack Lemmon (2-time Academy Award? Winner 1955 Mr. Roberts 1973 Save the Tiger 8-time Academy Award? Nominee) Ricky Nelson (Golden Globe? Nominee 1959 Most Promising Newcomer).System Requirements:Running Time 99 Mins.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre: COMEDY Rating: NR UPC: 043396049772 Manufacturer No: 04977
