Enjoyable if lightweight naval comedy set on a cargo ship during WWII. The presence of Henry Fonda and James Cagney adds dramatic credibility and Jack Lemmon supplies the comic relief, but it's a little inconsequential.

Just saw this again the other night on AMC...Great movie w/ Henry Fonda, James Cagney, Jack Lemmon, Ward Bond and I believe, a very young Patrick Wayne.

This is a good example of how the cast can make a film truly great - Jack Lemmon in an Oscar winning role, Henry Fonda, James Cagney and William Powell are all outstanding. Superbly directed, the writing is magnificent. Funny,m touching and unforgettable.

LETTERBOX. Entretenida y con muy buenos momentos, pero no soy de los que se conmueve con el patriotismo ni la camaraderķa militaristas. / Entertaining and with very good moments, but I am not one to be moved by militarist camaraderie and warmongering.

Excellent war classic, all the cast fit the part perfectly. This movie originated as a play, then became so popular that they made a movie about it.
