I don't watch war movies unless they're actually comedies.Down Periscope, Stalag 17, Mr. Roberts and The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell are two good examples and this one is the third. Tony Curtis shines as he matches wits with Cary Grant. A con-man and a scavenger, he holds their submarine and the movie together with a lot of sheer honest to goodness stealing and horse trading as Grant humors and even cajoles him. The movie really takes a wild turn as their sub takes on women and the men have to double up. Trying to get rid of them proves to be easier said than done, but eventually they save the day just when all seems almost lost. This is one movie that belongs in anyone's video collection.
