Anthony Franciosa is supposed to be impersonating a British naval officer. He is told to pronounce lieutenant “leftenant” the British way and not “lootenant” the American way. But Anthony Franciosa let’s a “lootenant” slip out, and nearly ruins the whole operation, getting away with it by claiming a Canadian connection.

Actually either way blows his cover. The correct Royal Navy pronounciation is a clipped "l'tenant"
