Along the way they both sing a few songs, and they do an impression of Bing Crosby and Barry Fitzgerald by recreating a scene from Going My Way (1944) for the talent show.

Further complications include a Post Exchange worker who is pregnant, a company commander who gets all his information from his wife, a scheming supply sergeant, and a defective Coca-Cola machine.

The film is based on a three act farcical play by James B. Allardice that ran for 151 performances from March 8, 1949 to July 16, 1949 with Mike Kellin and Kenneth Forbes repeating their roles.

One of the later Martin and Lewis films, Sailor Beware (1952) also directed by Hal Walker and co-written by James Allardice had a working title of At Sea with the Navy.

As this film is in the public domain, there have been at least a dozen DVD releases from a variety of companies comprising many different quality prints.
