    • Trivia
      About ten minutes into the movie, Pomeroy Watson (Lou Costello) gets a ticket for jaywalking. After the cop gives him the ticket, he and Smokey (Bud Abbott) turn around to go back to the base. They pass a baby carriage in front of a store window with a very young girl in it. Pomeroy stops and says, "Hey, Smokey, look at the cute kid". That "cute kid" is Costello's daughter, Carole Costello.

    An Excellent Comedy!
    Almost every comedy nowadays is purely Rated R for a reason, because it's vulgar trash in some way... unfortunately that is what passes as funny to today's audiences. Well, comedy does not need to be that, as shown here in this wonderfully hilarious military comedy from Abbott & Costello. The routines are so funny and should have your sides splitting! Other entertainment comes from The Andrews Sisters. Their music might be lame by today's standards but you gotta commend 'em for always bringing a smile to the face of our young men in uniform. Including a tap dance routine, the movie is a little more musical than I would have liked but still overall an excellent film! --A Kat Pirate Screener
