Operation petticoat: plot, cast and streaming of the film
Tonight, 30 December 2021, at 9.20 pm on La7, Operazione sottoveste, a 1959 comedy film directed by Blake Edwards, starring Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, will be broadcast. Other cast members include several actors who went on to become television actors in the sixties and seventies: Love Boat’s Gavin MacLeod and Crazy Crew, Happy Days’ Marion Ross, and Bewitched’s Dick Sargent. But let’s see all the information together in detail.

1959: Admiral Matt T.

At the time, Matt T. Sherman (with the rank of lieutenant commander) is determined to play an active role on the Pacific front and manages, against all odds, to get his submarine back on track, the USS Sea Tiger (hit and sunk in the harbor during an air attack on 10 December 1941) above all thanks to the help of the newly transferred Lieutenant Nicholas Holden, who has little experience of military life and a disposition little inclined to heroism (he openly admits that he enlisted for the purpose of using officer status to win over rich women), but she is also very adept at resolving tangled situations in an unorthodox way and often beyond the bounds of the law. Perhaps only out of desperation, Sherman accepts the “over the top” resourcefulness of the young officer, appointing him as a retail officer, and thanks to him the Sea Tiger is finally able to leave for the base in Cebu to finish the repairs. However, the drawbacks are lurking: first the submarine is forced to embark a group of auxiliary officers of the Army Nurse Corps who create havoc on board …
