The Admiral Wasa Lady Edmond O Brien | full movie

Really enjoyable movie set just after WWII about a woman ensign (nicknamed the admiral) who falls in with a gang of lovable losers - four ex-GIs who work diligently from dusk to dawn at finding ways to avoid work. There's a silly subplot about them trying to get her back together with her long lost fiancee, and an even sillier sub-sub plot about a rich millionaire and meddling detectives. The main point of interest is the repartee between the "admiral" and the men. Sometimes she's tough as nails, but at other points it's like Dorothy's relationship with the tin man, the lion and the scarecrow. Edmond O'Brien, Wanda Henrdix, Rudy Vallee, Steve Brodie, Hillary Brooke and more The Admiral Was a Lady is a 1950 American comedy film directed by Albert S. Rogell. The working title of the film was Once Over Lightly that was the title of one of the songs in the film. Edmond O'Brien co-stars with Wanda Hendrix, whose name inspired the movie's original poster: “The Admiral was a Lady but she taught these ex-G.I. (military)’s maneuvers they’ll never forget!!! … it’s zany in a wandafull sort of way!” Plot She's in for a wild ride, when Jean Madison (Wanda Hendrix), a WAVES ensign, meets the crew of an United States Army Air Corps A-20 Havoc light bomber named Cynthia. The men are living high as members of the "52-20 club," a program in which unemployed American veterans receive $20 unemployment benefits for 52 weeks.
