Love the older Bob Hope films but not this one.
He stars with Mickey Rooney and Marilyn Maxwell in the military comedy. Both men love the same woman.
Hope plays a boxing coach tricked into working as a Military Policeman. He meets Mickey Rooney, and more importantly, his good-looking aunt. To get closer to her, Hope offers to train Mickey as a fighter.
Unfortunately, this is a tedious and not funny film. The fact that it made no sense wouldn't have bothered me if I had been laughing - I mean, Hope was what, 49, being drafted? Or how about short stuff Mickey as a lightweight champ.
This doesn't hold up the way other Hope movies do.
