Kiss Them for Me (1957)

Operation Petticoat (1959)

 

During World War II, a commander finds himself stuck with a decrepit (and pink) submarine, a con man executive officer, and a group of army nurses. 

Mildly amusing military comedy somehow easily smooths its way around having a coherent story, but prefers on presenting some singularly entertaining moments.

Halliwell*: "Flabby comedy with good moments, but not many."

Maltin***1/2: "Hilarious comedy...Some truly memorable gags; Grant and Curtis are a dynamite team in this happy film."

Ladies Should Listen (1934)

The switchboard operator in an apartment building falls in love with a businessman (and playboy) who lives in the building, whom she has gotten to know only over the phone.

Lively, but only fairly entertaining screwball comedy; it lacks wit and sharpness and is only occasionally funny, but does showcase the talent of young Cary Grant.

Halliwell (no star): "Moderately beguiling, instantly forgettable romantic frou-frou."

Maltin**: "...flimsy comedy, no great shakes."
