Movie Review: YOU'RE IN THE NAVY NOW
Summary: 5 Stars
Gary Cooper is not generally known for his comedic roles, however his straight face as the captain of an experimental sub chaser during WWII adds to the fun this film generates. Ably supported by Eddie Albert, Jack Webb, Harvey Lembeck, Millard Mitchell et al, this is one of my all time favorites. Picked to prove the workability of a new type of steam engine as their propulsion unit, the crew does everything in it's power to make the "Beast" work, (by approved (or otherwise) means. While broken down in the middle of Chesapeake Bay in the middle of the night, the crew sights a tanker who they immediately signal for help by lamp. Their reply is quick in coming, not by signal lamp, but by a round from the tankers deck gun! The tug that keeps towing them back to base keeps a scorecard on it's deck house showing how many times the "U.S.S. Teakettle" has been brought home. Towards the end of the film, they finally get the "Beast" to work only to find that their throttles are frozen and they can't slow down! What follows is hilarious. This is a must see film! It hasn't lost it's punch over the years!Movie Review: Why Do They Call it a Comedy?
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an oldie, but a goodie. The plot is interesting & plausible and the acting superb by not only Gary Cooper, but the all-time greats -- a young Jack Webb & Eddie Albert. The only thing I take issue with is calling this a comedy. While the mood is light, it is by no means what anybody under 60 years old would call a comedy and thus not by a long shot nearly as funny as McHale's Navy or Hogan's Heroes. Still, it is a great film and highly entertaining -- something the whole family can enjoy.Movie Review: Good Old Navy Know How
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a very entertaining movie and definately not to be used as a real reference for the Navy. Gary Cooper and Eddie Albert bring laughter back into the military with this old favorite. Gary Cooper feels he has been let down being given a small vessel but he sure gives it all he has got to get the vessel tested for the Navy.Movie Review: OLD IS NEW AGAIN!!
Summary: 5 Stars
Good transfer to DVD. My husband is an "Old Movie" fan and really enjoyed this.Movie Review: An Obscure but Entertaining Comedy
Summary: 4 Stars
This little comedy is based upon an actual incident of World War II. In an effort to get more speed out of some of its ships, the Navy tries an experiment using a modernized steam engine. Steam does prove to be capable of giving higher speeds but the problem is with getting enough fresh water to make the steam. A new design is tried to try and solve this problem but there is a war on and not many experience officers are available to conduct the trials.
Enter Gary Cooper. He plays an engineer who has been commissioned as a reserve officer. He has not real experience in ship handling but is assigned to command the experimental ship. He is not too worried at first. He figures he can rely on experience officers and crew and devote himself to the engineering problem. Unfortunately for him, the only experienced sailor is the bosun. All of the rest, officers and crew, are short time reservists. This leads to a slew of comedic situations.
It's a fun and light hearted comedy worth the viewing.
