Meek and mild mannered bookkeeper Henry Limpet has few passions in life. It's mid-1941 and he would love to join the Navy but has been rated 4F. His friend George Stickle is in the Navy and lays it on pretty thick. If Henry could have one thing it would be to become a fish. While on a visit to Coney Island, Henry falls into the water and miraculously gets his wish. Now a fish, he makes friends, Ladyfish and Crusty the hermit crab and loves his new life. He also uses his abilities to help the US Navy locate and sink Nazi U-Boats, forcing the Germans to create a new weapon to deal with the Allies secret weapon. When years later the Navy finds intelligent activity among dolphins, they may also know who is teaching them.

Trivia
A limpet is a type of sea snail. A Limpet Mine is an explosive with a magnet so it can be attached to a metal ship. Since the mine sticks to the boat like a snail would, they are called limpet mines and usually attached by undersea divers or commandos .

Errores
The Nazi Admiral and naval staff are all wearing US Navy uniforms (complete with rank strips and stars signifying their status as US officers of the line) but with swastikas on their caps and Maltese crosses in place of neckties.

Citas
Henry Limpet: What if I told you I was once a human being?
Ladyfish: I don't care how terrible your past was, Limpet.

Créditos curiosos
Our thanks to the Department of Defense, and especially the U.S. Navy, without whose authorization this heretofore carefully guarded "military secret" could not have been told.

One of My Favorites!

I remember seeing this as a child, being totally mesmerized that Don Knotts, of Barney Fife fame, turned into a fish! It's a great movie for children, too. Such a wonderful fantasy about a meek man who just wishes he were a fish, or be enlisted in the Navy. Fortunately his wishes come true and the USA is able to win WWII! There's a couple of bloopers, too, which were fun to catch including wardrobe and hair styles. The romance and love story plots are included, so don't worry....

Overall, after all these years, it's still an enjoyable movie and quite a fantasy fairy tale. He careful what you wish for....
