Operation Petticoat (1959)

Basic Story: Lieutenant Commander Sherman remembers his misadventures aboard the USS Sea Dragon.

Fan Thoughts: Operation Petticoat is one of those World War II films from around the sixties that focused more on comedy and innuendo than drama.  While it is silly and a bit ridiculous at times, it’s a fun film with a fast pace as Lieutenant Commander Sherman (Cary Grant) tries to help his submarine the USS Sea Tiger through a comedy of errors on their way from the Philippines to Australia.  Assisting him Lieutenant Nick Holden (Tony Curtis), a former admirals aide who at first seems ill suited toeing onboard until he reveals he can scrounge just about anything to help repair the badly damaged Sea Tiger and Sherman makes him Supply Officer.  After stealing every part they can, the Sea Tiger begins limping toward Australia, engine one constantly gurgling and backfiring.  While on their journey the submarine and crew find themselves in increasingly absurd situations, however nearly all of them are loosely based on actual events: nurses were evacuated from Corregidor on the USS Spearfish, Filipino civilians were evacuated on the USS Narwhal, USS Bowfin torpedoed a bus, the Lieutenant Commander of the USS Skipjack sent a letter regarding the lack of toilet paper like the one in the film, and while obviously taken to a comedic level the pink paint was based on the USS Seadragon who had her top coat of paint burned off and fought in just the red undercoat, and the USS Harder had pink added to her grey top coat to aid camouflage at dawn and dusk.  While some of the jokes are a product of the time it was made, the film is still a successful comedy and an entertaining watch!

Warnings: mildly offensive jokes regarding women and native Filipinos

Available On: Apple TV, Vudu, Prime Video, Pluto TV

Peter Lorre as Sergeant Berger in a publicity shot for "The Cross of Lorraine" (1943).

I have not seen this movie and I don't know if I will; brutality gives me the squick regardless if it's not real, and it reads like it's pretty rough. Anyone who's seen it, let me know!

"For the brutally vicious and bloodthirsty Sergeant Berger, [director Tay] Garnett thought of only one actor: Peter Lorre. 'I knew his capacity,' recalled the director. 'I thought he was magnificent, because for a small man he was so much more menacing than anyone we have today.' Lorre put extra menace into his role. With fiendish delight he tosses a loaf of bread on the ground and watches the starving prisoners scramble for it. Shooting a praying priest puts a cruel smirk on his face."

Well. Despite playing an asshole, Peter has such a provocative expression in that above shot, and with all the beauty of his 1940s self, the lines of his jaw, his full lips, that sweet dimple in his chin. My personal headcanon wants desperately to put him in a double agent position so he's actually a good guy, isn't as mean as he seems, doesn't meet a sticky end. Alas.

As usual, Lorre on set meant fun times.

"Despite the heavy subject matter, cast and crew gave production the atmosphere of a social club. Lorre and Cedric Hardwicke affectionately needled each other about most everything. 'Anytime Peter would say anything,' remarked Garnett, 'Hardwicke would try to find something wrong with what he had said. And Peter would do Hardwicke’s English accent right back at him with a slight German tinge.'"

And of course, there was the day that L.B. Mayer crashed the MGM set with a company of Washington brass:

"Colonels were just errand boys in that group," said director Tay Garnett. "Mayer was playing every instant the big boss over all this big thing. And he was showing off pretty well and Peter walked by him and he had on, of course, the Nazi uniform, the black shirt.

"'Oh, Peter, come over here,' called Mayer.

"So Peter turned around and said, 'Yes, Mr. Mayer,' and walked over to him.

"'It seems strange to see you in a Gestapo uniform. How do you keep yourself in character?'

"And Peter looked him right in the face and said, 'I eat a Jew every morning for breakfast.'

"Well, it got a hell of a laugh from the brass, because they all knew Mayer was Jewish and a lot of them didn’t know that Peter was."

All quotes from The Lost One: A Life of Peter Lorre, by Stephen D. Youngkin.
