Quiz
Scenes of flight deck musters of the ships' company were filmed aboard the USS Saratoga (CV-3) during a joint exercise with the Army and the Navy simulating a carrier attack on Hawaii in January 1933.

During the exercise Saratoga and her sister ship Lexington successfully attacked Pearl Harbor at dawn on January 31, 1933 without being detected, almost nine years before the actual attack by the Imperial Japanese Navy on December 7, 1941.

The USS Saratoga was commissioned in 1927 and served throughout WWII earning eight battle stars. She was sunk by an atomic bomb test at Bikini Atoll in July 1946.

Exactly what you'd expect from a Joe E. Brown movie...

While Joe E. Brown was a very popular comedian back in the 1930s, whenever I watch his films today I notice a certain sameness in all of them. Each feature Joe as a talkative braggart whose mouth usually gets him into trouble. Frankly, because he is such a fat-headed guy in the films, it seriously harms the films--as it makes it hard to like the guy. So, whenever I watch his films, I try to take them in small doses.

This one begins on a ship in the US Navy. Joe is a seaman and once again he brags about everything. Eventually, some of his lies come back to haunt him (such as at the boxing match and officers' dinner), but like a typical Brown film he is somehow rescued by divine fate (or the kindness of strangers) and somehow succeeds by the end of the film. It's all very watchable but the screaming (his shtick) at the end while supposedly flying a plane was really, really lame.

Overall, a pleasant and watchable film but if you've seen one Brown film, you've seen just about all of them!
