McHale's Navy / McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force

McHale's Navy (1964)

Conniving commander Quinton McHale (Ernest Borgnine) and the men of the PT 73 made the jump from small screen to big screen with this feature-length laughfest spun off from the popular '60s sitcom. When the crew's scheme to operate an on-board bookmaking parlor blows up in their faces--and leaves them in hock to angry Marines--their make-good involves smuggling a racehorse. Joe Flynn, Tim Conway, Carl Ballantine, Gary Vinson, and George Kennedy co-star. 93 min. C/Rtg: NR

McHale's Navy Joins The Air Force (1965)

There's actually no McHale in "McHale's Navy Joins the Air Force," the second feature film based on the popular WWII sitcom, so Tim Conway's bumbling Ensign Parker takes center stage, as a case of mistaken identity puts him in the cockpit as a would-be ace pilot. Joe Flynn, Bob Hastings, and Ted Bessell co-star. 90 min. C/Rtg: NR
