Difficult to realise or understand that Ronnie Shiner was one of the top British film stars of the fifties.I even recall seeing this at the Ode on Temple Fortune when it was released.
Unrealistic, overly silly and at times quite messy, Ronald Shiner does seem to know what he is doing at least, and the vitality that he gives to his character, plus some amusing amounts, are enough to bring this British comedy, about rivalry between navy officers, up to scratch. There is little in the way of character development, and in fact most of the supporting characters are indistinguishable from the next.
