The Wackiest Ship in the Army (1961) more movies like this

directed by Richard Murphy
featuring Jack Lemmon, Ricky Nelson, John Lund, Chips Rafferty, Tom Tully

Hijinks and spyjinks lighten this effective comedy by Richard Murphy, based -- very loosely -- on an actual incident in World War II.

The floating anachronism has to safely carry an ...

The Overlanders (1946) more movies like this

directed by Harry Watt
