Operation Petticoat (1959)

   "... one of the trickiest acting jobs of [Cary Grant's] long and brilliant career."

With Tony Curtis.

Operation Petticoat - Review is taken from 'The Films of Cary Grant' by Donald Deschner (1973):

"Though he gets many laughs Cary Grant plays an essentially straight part and theatrical pros will recognize it as one of the trickiest acting jobs of his long and brilliant career.  Throughout every inch of it, he makes you feel that this is a dedicated captain determined to sail his ship again.  He makes all that follows seem funny instead of silly.  Curtis has an actor's field day with his flashy part, but under Blake Edwards' skilled direction, all the players make valuable contributions to the general hilarity."
