Great Film very good transfer to dvd
This is a film I saw an awful long time ago and I have been waiting a long time to see it released on dvd. The film takes place on a small Scottish island/fort and the sailors there are testing a new type of torpedo. Gene Kelly plays a US Naval officer. When he and his two sidekicks arrive on the island to help the Brits, tensions rise a bit between them. Its a lighthearted film that has some comical moments but it also has some seriousness about it. Theres a great cast including Syd James and Bernard Lee. All in all its a great little film that will make you smile.Pretty good crisp transfer to dvd too.
Own This Film Only If...
Own this plodding, lackluster film ONLY IF: (1) like myself, you need to complete your Miklos Rozsa film score/movie collection of this erstwhile hard-to-obtain DVD; (2) you need to witness how handsome hero John Justin (Ahmad from "Thief of Bagdad") has aged over a period of 14 years; (3) you find yourself eager and willing to ponder how Gene Kelly could ever have permitted himself to star in such a predictable cinematic BOMB!
