One of my favorite type of movies is a comedy that has actors that normally don't do comedies and this is one. One doesn't think of comedies with Fred Nadar, John Agar or even Audie Murphy but you can tell they had great fun with this. The fun is evident by the silly grins that the actors had in almost every scene even when the dialog didn't warrant it. Take a gander at the scene that introduced Burgess Meredith's character; the actor behind the wheel of the jeep had a big grin on his face until he slipped a hand over his mouth then lowered it. You could tell that most of these men had served in the war and were reliving their youth and were having fun doing it, likely both on set and off. Unfortunately the video quality on YouTube is not the best but if one can overlook that it is worth you time to watch it.
