Product Description
Product description
A captain determined to get his damaged submarine to a dockyard, must take aboard five stranded female nurses during World War II.
Genre: Feature Film-Comedy
Rating: NR
Release Date: 26-MAR-2002
Media Type: DVD
Amazon.com
Blake Edwards's delightful 1959 comedy stars Cary Grant as a World War II submarine captain whose preference for a by-the-book command reluctantly yields to certain realities. Chief among those is that Grant's first officer (Tony Curtis, who impersonated Grant that same year in Billy Wilder's Some Like It Hot), a shameless hustler, is better than the navy at delivering whatever supplies the ship and crew need to keep going. But when Curtis sneaks a handful of Philippine refugees and several gorgeous nurses onto the all-male sub, the skipper not only has to cool down his crew but deal with an unexpected feminine influence on ship protocol. The film is a great deal of fun, sprinkled with the director's trademark sight gags (including one of Edwards's best, involving a torpedo and jeep), and graced with his unmistakable lilt. Grant is in great form, his comic brilliance almost impossibly effortless. --Tom Keogh

Long a favorite of mine, the film hasn't received much love in the home video department. My old DVD edition had a so-so picture that didn't even fill the frame, but this Blu-ray finally does it some justice. Watch Cary Grant and Tony Curtis go at each other with beautiful nurses caught in the middle with a nice clear picture!
The film was made with several real submarines filling in as the "USS Sea Tiger" and it's a treat watching them run. Cramped confines on board make the mixing of stranded Army nurses and the crew quite an amusing spectacle, and one can only grudge Grant his luck as he has to squeeze past Nurse Crandall in the passageway.
Nice to see this very funny movie finally get the Blu-ray treatment, so it was a no-brainer for me to pick up.
Highly recommend.

1950年代「ケイン号の反乱」「海底2万マイル」「ミスタア・ロバーツ」「眼科の敵」とう海軍物や潜水艦物の傑作が作られたがケーリー・グラントとしては“どうせならもっとはじけた映画を作ろう”と思ったのであろう。
プロローグのパールハーバー(真珠湾奇襲)は本格的な迫力で続く破損した潜水艦をグラントが陣頭指揮を取って修理するシーンは独立プロを立ち上げたグラント自身の情熱も反映されており喜劇であるが感動すら覚える。
本作から喜劇に進出したトニー・カーティスのお調子者副官も本領発揮でまるで後年「大脱走」のジェームズ・ガーナーのお手本になったのではないか?と思わせるキャラである。
ジョーン・オブライエンやダイナ・メリルといった女優さんを乗組員に入れるのもグラントらしい楽しさでアーサー・オコンネルの偏屈おじさんも安定感ある。
ラッセル・ハーランの撮影も良く2時間があっという間の会心作。
監督に新人だったブレイク・エドワーズを抜擢したが本作が大当たりしその後「ピンクパンサー」シリーズ等で1960年代以降の喜劇界をリードする事になったのはグラントに先見の明があったからでしょう。
