I've been on this planet for eight decades. I have been a movie fan for just about all those years even working in a theatre for a time and I've seen the best and the worst, and this was surely one of the worst. Most of these reviewers must have had some money in the film. There was nothing funny about any of it and all those who think otherwise should check their funny bone. I have undoubtedly seen most if not all of Hope's on screen work and there have been a few with very little comic appeal and this one's at the top of the list. Why and how his leading lady got herself roped into this one is equally surprising. I would think a lot had to do with pushing the propaganda value having been released in '43. View it if you like, but funny it ain't even with Bob Hope in it.
I've been watching movies for seven decades; I've seen all of the Martin & Lewis films and enjoyed most of them. Jerry can be funny when he's got a good straight man and Martin pretty well always filled the role adequately. When they broke up Lewis tried to be both, and failed miserably. This was his worst. I do not know what folk found funny about this one. Most of his so called humorous sections were anything but. The two brothers did not fill the role at all, and Judith Anderson must have been going through a rough time to take this one on. At the end they had a beautiful young lady that could have done a great job as a romantic lead, but they gave her nothing but standing opposite Lewis's crazy antics. Watch it if you want, but if you have any taste in comedy you will come away very disappointed.
I have been a Christian, Christian pastor and Christian mission representative over the past sixty years. I have been through the Scriptures both intensively and extensively over those years including the account upon which this film has ostensibly been built. The only similarities between the truth of the Word and this "story" are the man Noah, a large body of water and a huge boat filled with animals called an ark. The rest is all mythology. If you are not a Christian, that's fine; if you are then don't waste your time as we did. The special effects are good and are commended, but everything else is pure imagination.
