Quotes
Lt. Cmdr. Robert Badger: I gathered you all together on your first evening to give you some idea of what we intend to do with you at Dartmouth. We expect you to become officers in a service of which we are all very proud. You will learn how to be leaders; to make decisions; to take responsibility. Now all this, I know, may sound rather forbidding. But remember this: if you're always sincere, always do your best according to your lights, mean what you say and stick to it whatever the consequences, then there'll always be somebody to put in a good word for you at your court martial.

It was a simpler time

Found this film absolutely hilarious when I saw it in the cinema aged 9 or 10. Like most films of its time it hasn't aged well. Compare with most of the terrible Carry On films. Rating is for its value as a period piece.
