March 4, 2007Enjoyable 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.

July 10, 2009This 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.

January 25, 2009LETTERBOX. 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.

November 25, 2008Excellent 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.
