    Fans of the early-'60s sitcom are naturally disappointed by this more juvenile approach to the old concept, which found Navy Captain McHale commanding a merry band of hustlers in the Pacific. Tom Arnold plays the updated title character, and while there's every reason he could have done a fine job, the script eschews the show's tone for something broader and dumber. A lost opportunity, all right, and the original McHale, Ernest Borgnine, appears to give it his blessing with a cameo as Pentagon brass. --Tom Keogh

    Something of a cross between M*A*S*H* (it's set in wartime) and Sgt. Bilko (the emphasis in on ensemble acting, with a ringleader and his band of merry pranksters), McHale's Navy isn't on a level with those two immortal sit-coms. But this amiable show, debuting on DVD with all 36 black & white episodes from its first season (1962-63) on five discs, stands the test of time surprisingly well. Not that there's any important new comedic ground broken here. These half-hour episodes are pretty much all about the same thing: Lt. Cmdr. Quinton McHale (the always reliable Ernest Borgnine), skipper of Navy PT boat #73, and his crew are stationed "somewhere in the South Pacific, 1943." They're capable sailors, engaging the Japanese enemy when duty occasionally calls, but most of the time they hang out on their own private island and have a good time--much to the chagrin of their blustery commander, Capt. Wallace Binghamton (Joe Flynn), who's constantly trying to rid himself of the regulation-defying McHale and his fun-loving band of miscreants. In that respect, McHale's Navy is much like Bilko. But unlike the latter show's brilliant Phil Silvers, Borgnine isn't really a comedian; with his unmistakable cackle, the actor's McHale, while not above taking part in a good-natured prank, is a less a Bilko-esque con artist than a regular guy, a kind of cheer- and ringleader intent on looking after his boys. The real laughmeisters on this show are Tim Conway, who brings his whole bag of shticks to the role of the bumbling Ensign Charles Parker, and Flynn, who's consistently hilarious. Among the crew, Carl Ballantine stands out as fast-talking Brooklyn native Lester Gruber; TV lovers will also recognize Gavin MacLeod in his first extended TV role before moving on to The Mary Tyler Moore Show and The Love Boat.

    It's always a bit strange to see war scenes played for laughs--the Pacific Theater in World War II was hardly comedy central, after all. But they are pretty funny. And while the Japanese characters are treated fairly stereotypically, it could have been a lot worse, considering the show's pre-political correctness provenance; hell, many of the roles are actually played by Japanese actors, which was not a given (then or now), and in one episode ("Movies Are Your Best Diversion"), they speak un-subtitled Japanese. Fact is, McHale's Navy is just too mild and good-natured to offend anyone. The sole bonus feature is a dull reunion interview with Borgnine, Parker, and some other cast members.--Sam Graham

    Description

    THE ORIGINAL 36-EPISODE FIRST SEASON STARRING ERNEST BORGNINE, TIM CONWAY AND JOE FLYNN

    From 1962 to 1966, McHale's Navy was ABC's must-see comedy series. With an amazing cast, including Academy Award winner Ernest Borgnine ("Lt. Commander McHale"), comic genius Tim Conway ("Ensign Parker"), the one-of-a-kind comic talent of Joe Flynn ("Captain Binghamton") this series remains second only to M*A*S*H as a truly funny military sitcom.

    Veteran seaman Quinton McHale is commissioned into the Navy Reserve at the start of WWII. He becomes Skipper of the Torpedo Patrol (PT) Boat #73 stationed on the island of Taratupa in the Pacific. Assigned to his command are six free-spirited, good-hearted swabbies who love to have fun. McHale and his men are constant irritants to their base commander, Captain Wallace B. Binghamton. Binghamton is forever trying to find a way to get rid of McHale and his rule-bending crew, while McHale & Co. are forever scheming to keep him from succeeding. Despite their hilarious party-boy shenanigans and utter disregard for Navy regulations, when duty calls, the crew of PT 73 does its job and does it well.

    With its talented stars, great writing and solid supporting cast, including Gavin McLeod (Mary Tyler Moore Show, The Love Boat), McHale's Navy is classic television at its finest and funniest.

    Special Feature:
    THE CREW REUNION - Ernest Borgnine, Tim Conway, Carl Ballantine, Bob Hastings and Edson Stroll reunite and share their memories of the show.

    4 out of 5 stars First, best of "McHale's" four seasons.......2007-06-30

    The early episodes of Season 1 of "McHale's Navy" are more low-keyed than the remaining three years would be, showing some traces of the show's origin as a 1961 Alcoa Theater drama "Seven Against the Sea" that featured Ernest Borgnine as McHale, but none of the other cast members (though some of the same character names). Watching Season 1 in order you can see the show focusing more on the strengths of the slapstick comedic relationship between Tim Conway and Joe Flynn as the year goes on, but the opening season's shows overall are really no more silly/serious than the plots for the first two seasons of M*A*S*H (and in fact, M*A*S*H's Season 2 opener, "Five O'Clock Charlie" was liberally taken from a Season 1 "McHale" episode "Five O'Clock Charlie" and coincidentally features Mike Farrell in a brief role). Season 1 also features stories from some fairly prominent writers for TV and elsewhere, including the pilot episode by Gene L. Coon ("Star Trek") and others by Danny Arnold ("Bewitched", "Barney Miller"), and Joseph Heller ("Catch 22").

    Picture quality is decent on most of the episodes, though there are a few scratches here and there that show the 45-year-old age of the source material. Sound quality is also good, except for the muffled opening scene and titles from "Movies are Your Best Diversion" (the original episode had a slightly jazzier version of the opening theme on the main titles, and someone apparently decided to dub the more familiar version back on and did so -- badly). Definitely worth getting, though if you're looking for the Conway-Flynn slapstick antics "McHale's Navy" is most remembered for, you might want to start with Disc 3 in the set, or pick up the Season 2 DVD of the show first.

    5 out of 5 stars Really Funny.......2007-06-22

    This is one of the all time greats. You can't stop laughing. McHale, Parker and Binghamptn are great! When is the second season coming out ????

    5 out of 5 stars good ol TV show.......2007-06-09

    I remember when tv was fun to watch, well here it is. These shows are fun to watch. Good clean silly fun. I always lasugh when I watch these episodes. I can't wait for the next season to come out.

    5 out of 5 stars The gang's all here!.......2007-06-01

    What a pleasure to relive the zany exploits of McHale and crew! Great clarity and focus on the black and white pictures. I wish that all DVD's were created with the quality of effort and end result that is evident in this first season of McHale's Navy. Outsanding value!

    5 out of 5 stars Anchor's Way Aweigh!!!!.......2007-05-25

    This series was so inspiring, I had to join the Navy to find out if it was anything like the series...and much to my chagrin, for the most part. IT WAS.....Clean humor, political incorrectness, Very well cast, great acting. It was believable. They just do not make them like this any more. Buy it or I'll put you on report and you will have to stand at Captain's Mast in front of Captain "Leadbottom"...."Waaaahat...Waaahat...Waaaht...I could just scream"

    In The Enemy Below Robert Mitchum and Curt Jurgens are respectively captains of a U.S. destroyer and a German U-boat whose vessels come into conflict in the South Atlantic. Both are good men with a job to do, the script noting Jurgens' distaste for Hitler and the Nazis and engaging our sympathy with the German sailors almost as much as the Americans. Made at the height of the cold war of the 1950s, the film delivers a liberal message of co-operation wrapped inside some spectacular action scenes and a story which builds to a tense and exciting, moving finale. --Gary S. Dalkin

    Description

    It's Mitchum vs. Jurgens as the commanders of an American destroyer and a German U-boat play a deadly game of cat and mouse.

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent.......2007-03-14

    Para mi padre fue una pelicula memorable. Le recordó su epoca de gloria en la naval.

    4 out of 5 stars Excellent film.......2007-03-10

    I found this film to be not only an excellent action film, with excellent strategizing and suspenseful decisions by both sides, but to be a wonderfully clear-headed depiction of real people in war. The Germans were not automatically shown as Nazi fanatics (in fact it was made very clear that the German U-boat captain was not a fan of Hitler) but as men just like the Americans.

    I found the ending to be wonderfully uplifting and emotional.

    Ausgezeichnet, meine Herren!

    5 out of 5 stars Great WWII movie.......2007-03-05

    One of Robert Mitchum's best flicks. I bought this one along with several other WWII movies as a gift for my husband and because I remembered this one to be a great psychological war movie.

    5 out of 5 stars One of the Handfull of Submarine Greats!!!.......2007-01-11

    Submarine films are a genre unto themselves, and there is no doubt that this is one of the classics. Beyond that, it shows two commanders battling wits toward the end of the Battle of the Atlantic. Mitchum and Jurgens are both in fine form, and really demonstrate the futility of traditional patriotic warfare, if not its occasional necessity up through the 20th century.

    There are certainly better films from the standpoint of showing the outfitting of a German WWII submarine, but that really does not detract from the drama of this film. For the inscrutable U-Boat commander (also classically played by Juergen Prochnow in Das Boot), Curt Jurgens demonstrates exceedingly well the conflict of dual roles of commander and friend with his subordinate officer Heinrich.

    Highly enjoyable and recommended!

    5 out of 5 stars Excellent battle of wits........2007-01-10

    This movie is an excellent example between two seasoned professionals - no good guy vs bad guy, revenge motives, no sex, no swearing; an example of a quality movie that Hollywood can do when it puts its mind to it. Excellent performance by an all-star, legendary cast! A war movie that anyone would enjoy that wants more from a movie than simple gore and violence; a thinking man's kind of movie. A must have if you are a fan of the "destroyer vs submarine" type of naval warfare.

    I had high hopes for this flim BUT No!!! God they could of made a better film for the money they spent on this few LAUGHS gags that I got.
    They needed to worked the plot a lot more.The star power was'nt that bad they should've demanded a better script from the writers.The film set in the 1990- 97 okay was hard at best,because the old show was set in WW2 and that was great,and the 97 film was hard to watch because there was no real plot at all.Tim Curry as the world second best terrorist okay that sound like a plot I'd guess!! I 'll watch the DVD when I need see something GOFFY on Saturday. I love flim with HighJinks but this one falls short some what.I BE NICE AND GIVE 3 STARS.

    This is a barebones DVD, nuff said. It only includes a Theatrical Trailer. Great movie, though.

    2 out of 5 stars an ok B movie.......2006-05-09

    If you are a fan of the old series this movie isn't worth your time and effort.

    If you don't mind an ok B movie with a few funny moments from a cast much better than the material it is given (unfortunately the cast manages to sink to its level) then you won't mind it.

    I really can't recommend you spend money on this one. Wait for the actual series to make it to DVD (what's keeping it?)
