This is an excellent film for many reasons and a must see film from the classics.
It's the first time James Cagney and Pat O'Brian star together in what would see 7 more such collaborations on screen and a long term friendship lasting their life time. They work so incredibly well together both seriously and comically as they do in this print.
It's virtually shot all on the USS Arizona a real U.S. navel ship which sadly was just a few years later totally destroyed in the bombing raid on Pearl Harbour. It's the story of romance and quirky laughs of Cagney and O'Brian is trying to break that up as it's his sister Cagney wants. Let's not forget that other great sidekick OF Cagney's Mr Frank McHugh and a laugh a minute from the two.
It's all harmless fun and frolicks in this film and the three main actors work well together. Cagney is as always that fun guy with his cheek and giggles.
Overall a great backdrop, fun, laughter and a plausible story line
