Loved his screwball military comedies such as “Operation Mad Ball”, “What Did You Do In The War, Daddy”, and “Operation Petticoat” ...
One of my all-time favorites, a close to perfect meld of comedy and drama with excellent characters and actors. Who knew that Fonzie's "Mrs.C" was so zaftig in 1959 and Arthur O'Connell's excellent portrayal of CMM Tostin. The very wry interchanges between Grant and Curtis were so well written as was the rest of the script. Blake's direction worked so very well in keeping this evergreen grin machine going in rerun after rerun!
