Appealing but thin service comedy.

There's a distinct lack of forward momentum plaguing Operation Petticoat, which takes forever to get going, and even then only moves in fits and starts, plot-wise.

Ah, Blake Edwards. I remember when he was not just funny--but really funny.

A n ice pairing of the talents of Cary Grant and Tony Curtis
July 17, 2005
With shining, contarsting turns from Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, Blake Edwards's slick and funny military comedy was one of 1959's most popular films and one of Grant's biggest commercial hits in a long and brilliant career.

Operation Petticoat has no more weight than a sackful of feathers, but it has a lot of laughs.

Splendid, if a little long, service comedy from Edwards.
January 26, 2006
Not unpleasant, but the situations (including the inevitable invasion of women aboard the sub) are horribly familiar, and the dialogue none too inspired.

Hasn't aged especially well. Still, on the strength of Grant and co-lead Tony Curtis, Edwards' film remains a diverting enough escape from reality. [Blu-ray]

Blake Edwards directs with his customary wit, breeziness, and acute sense of pacing.

Without a true plot to speak of, you really watch the film for the comic set ups that all have fairly quick payoffs.
