Steve
McQueen is still admired today. Like Marilyn Monroe and James Dean his talent
has been recognized well beyond his years on the big screen. I grew up while he
was alive and always loved his movies. He was excellent in a several dramas
including "The Magnificent Seven" and "The Great Escape", but not many people
have seen his comedic side. "The Honeymoon Machine" is probably his best role
that showed his ability to do comedy. The support cast with stars like Jim
Hutton, Paula Prentiss, and Dean Jagger is great. Richard Thorpe does an
excellent job of directing
When Lt. Howard, played by McQueen, plots a
method to beat the casino using the Navies ship computer, things get
interesting. Two other seamen join him in his plan to outwit the casino and
when their girlfriends get caught up in the scheme, things get very funny. When
McQueen's girlfriend that is an Admirals daughter tries to find out what is
going on things get crazy. Then the Admiral thinks there is a subversive plot
against the Navy, and the plan really goes haywire. This is a screwball comedy
that the whole family can enjoy. Fans of movies like "The Wackiest Ship in the
Army" and "Operation Petticoat" should love it. I recommend it to anyone that
enjoys old or new comedies
Funny but dated. If you enjoy 60's or even
70's comedy then you will enjoy this one. |
