Review :
Richard Murphy's The Wackiest Ship in the Army
In this WWII comedy, Jack Lemmon plays a young lieutenant who
finally gets command of his own ship- a small sailboat with an
inexperienced crew. Rick Nelson is his second in command, and
the ship must sail. This lightweight comedy is not terribly funny, but
not bad, either.
The breezy feel of the film is helped by an almost complete lack of
plot. Lemmon takes the boat through dangerous waters watched
by the Japanese, picks up an Australian spy who tracks Japanese
navy positions from the jungle, and sails him to the jungle. The
ship is captured, but our heroes escape and return back to base.
Aside from the Japanese, the only other conflict is between
Lemmon and the ageless Richard Anderson, who plays a hard
nosed commander ready to take over the sailboat.
The film works mostly because of Lemmon. He is so good and so
likable here, you forget little things like a romantic subplot that
never pans out. Nelson even finds a chance to croon a song,
giving us a break from the loud, unsubtle musical score.
Despite the title, most of the humor here is derived from the men's
war situation; not anything terribly wacky happens. There are
laughs, two running gags involve people knocking themselves on
the head, and a funny one involving Lemmon's quest for a decent
cup of coffee. Another light moment that is not pounded into the
ground- the men dress as natives, complete with grass skirts and
coconut shell bras, to fool the enemy into thinking they are a local
trading ship. The scene is funny without being racist and offensive.
The suspense about the mission is often undermined by a
reliance on stock footage to show battle scenes. This is a comedy,
yet we are watching actual footage of war, and this is a little
unsettling. When director Murphy is allowed to shoot his own
action sequences, they work, especially the cruise through the
mined harbor.
"The Wackiest Ship in the Army" spawned a television show, and
that is about the level of the script. This is nothing that will change
your life, but watching Lemmon's comic skills and good nature
make this an enjoyable enough time filler. I slightly recommend it.
This is unrated, and contains some physical violence, some gun
violence, and mild adult situations.
