Assault on a Queen (1966)


Paramount
Directed by Jack Donohue
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(Turner Classic Movies)

Sinatra is an ex-Navy officer relaxing and boozing with his pal in the Bahamas. He's approached by a group of salvage hunters after sunken treasure for his diving skills. They don't find treasure, but an old German submarine. They cook up an idea to repair the sub and use it to rob the passenger liner Queen Mary. Way too much running time is spent on the repair of the sub and Sinatra's seduction of platinum blond Virna Lisi. The heist is ill-conceived and predictably fails.
