“It wouldn't be fair to just describe this as a piece pf propaganda, but the rallying call for would-be sailors is writ large. It's quite a personable affair, following the trials and tribulations of a group of recruits as they adjust from their life on civvy street to the new disciplines of the Service. Robert Lowery ("Johnny") and William Henry ("Randall") even manage to fall for the same woman Jean Parker ("Ellen") but will their loyalty to their country prevail...? This is a light hearted, jolly, cheap as chips piece of cinema that makes a slight nod to the unpopularity of the draft, but ultimately was a morale booster in 1944, and though sentimental in nature, is not unwatchable 70-odd years later.”
