First the army, then the navy and soon the air force. Out at sea they, like with Buck Privates (1941), have with them The Andrews Sisters. You can't have comedians just doing comedy in Hollywood comedy movies, so for romance crooner Dick Powell is brought in with reporter Claire Dodd hot on his trails. Not the worst of distractions, but can't the execs leave comedians alone and just let them do their thing? The dudes still get the laughs going and it's a lively navy affair all the way.

Worth watching just for the 'lemon' bit (i.e., crooked shell game routine) that is made even better by the presence of Shemp Howard.
