| A phenomenal family movie
Generation Xers grew up be entertained by Buddy Hackett and this movie is no exception. In this movie he plays a crazed Native American sailor on a Navy Destroyer to the extent that the skipper assigns a young officer, Lt. Donald, to keep him out of trouble. Both Lt. Donald and the skipper find themselves falling for a pair of ladies and hilarity ensues.

All Hands on Deck has great family friendly plot with a good cast. By current movie standards it does drag a bit, but that is because it actually spends time on this crazy thing called character development which you don't see in many movies today.

It is a crying shame that it is not on DVD or blue-ray.

Goofs

There is a discrepancy with the release date of the movie and the ribbons on the ship. The movie came out in 1961, but there was a Vietnam Service Medal among the ribbons. The St. Clair County did not go to Vietnam until February 1966. Vietnam Service was not authorized until 1965.
