In The Navy
In this rollicking nautical musical comedy, Abbott and Costello are two sailors bound for duty on the high seas. They befriend singing star Dick Powell, who has ditched the limelight for a quiet enlisted life, and must help him evade an ambitious reporter (Claire Dodd) intent on using her new identity for her big story. To complicate matters even further, Pomeroy (Costello) has fallen for Patty, one of the Andrew Sisters, and puts on a charade to impress her. The action starts with a dance hall brawl, and ends with Pomeroy playing captain of the battleship. The hillarious high jinks are punctuated by fabulous musical numbers, making "In The Navy" a classic entertainment treasure !
