Top Critics Reviews

rotten:
Not unpleasant, but the situations (including the inevitable invasion of women aboard the sub) are horribly familiar, and the dialogue none too inspired.

fresh:
Operation Petticoat has no more weight than a sackful of feathers, but it has a lot of laughs.

fresh:
Blake Edwards directs with his customary wit, breeziness, and acute sense of pacing.
