"War doesn't seem half bad in director Charles Walters' satirical gem about the Navy public relations department, which is spending World War II far from the shooting on a tiny island in the South Pacific. Still, life is no picnic for Lt. Max Siegel (Glenn Ford): As second in command to a nitwit, Siegel must keep his boss out of trouble, the media happy and the sailors in dates. The talented cast also includes Earl Holliman and Anne Francis."
