With shining, contarsting turns from Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, Blake Edwards's slick and funny military comedy was one of 1959's most popular films and one of Grant's biggest commercial hits in a long and brilliant career.

Splendid, if a little long, service comedy from Edwards.

Hasn't aged especially well. Still, on the strength of Grant and co-lead Tony Curtis, Edwards' film remains a diverting enough escape from reality. [Blu-ray]

Without a true plot to speak of, you really watch the film for the comic set ups that all have fairly quick payoffs.

Ah, Blake Edwards. I remember when he was not just funny--but really funny.

Operation Petticoat has no more weight than a sackful of feathers, but it has a lot of laughs.
November 30, 2003
A n ice pairing of the talents of Cary Grant and Tony Curtis
March 21, 2010
Appealing but thin service comedy.
January 26, 2006
Not unpleasant, but the situations (including the inevitable invasion of women aboard the sub) are horribly familiar, and the dialogue none too inspired.
May 15, 2012
Blake Edwards directs with his customary wit, breeziness, and acute sense of pacing.
August 04, 2014
There's a distinct lack of forward momentum plaguing Operation Petticoat, which takes forever to get going, and even then only moves in fits and starts, plot-wise.
