Classic British Comedy

Here is another great old British comedy from the 1950s about life in the British Navy just after WWII. I believe this film is up there with the Carry on films and "Doctor" series, indeed sharing some of the same cast such as Hattie Jacques, Cecil parker, Nicholas Phipps and Leslie Phillips. The Navy Lark should be given the respect of a release on DVD soon.

I remember watching the movie about ten years ago on TV and thoroughly enjoying it at the time. Its a great put your feet up, disengage brain and enjoy experience.

If you are a fan of Carry on you will also be a fan of the Navy Lark

Curiosidades
The film was based on a then-new radio series whose first season boasted Jon Pertwee and Dennis Price among the main cast. According to Pertwee, producer Herbert Wilcox refused to hire Price for the film spin-off because Price was gay. Pertwee protested on Price's behalf, and Wilcox fired Pertwee as well.

Citas
CPO Banyard: [entering room in agitated state] Sir, it's about Lieutenant Binns sir - something has got to be done.
Cmdr. Stanton: [Sympathetically] Well, we know chief, we know.
CPO Banyard: Yes, but do you know what he's done now Sir? He's pinched the jeep. The Milkman's livid.

Créditos adicionales
Navy Lark is a surely fictitious account of events and goings on in a naval establishment only loosely connected with the senior service.
