Monty Stephens: [to the Bosun's Mate] There's three things that worry me, Chief, ever since we had to drop out of the convoy. Where are we, where we're headed, and do you think we'll make it?
Orval 'Handsome' Martin: Yeah, and will the beer be cold when we get there?

Featured review
Miriam LaVelle makes this movie worth pursuing.
This movie like many others in this time does not have much of a plot. It's more of a variety show loosely connected to an insignificant and irrelevant plot. There's a lot of good entertainment here but the "rare to see" Miriam LaVelle puts on two performances that are worth your time regardless of what you think of the rest of the movie. You will find her dancing act at 36 mins and 1Hour and 11 minutes in the film.
Miriam LaVelle combines tap dancing with acrobatics. A technique that she developed as a teenager and has never been duplicated.
She was in a few other films, she primarily performed live on Broadway. The rest of the movie is certainly enjoyable and worth watching, but despite her almost complete lack of billing in most of the posters and other media prepared for the film, she is the star in my opinion.
