Don't Give Up the Ship (1959)

Paramount Pictures
Directed by Norman Taurog
My rating: 1.5 stars out of 4
IMDb

Another Jerry Lewis service comedy, this time he is an inept lieutenant who is being accused by brass and Congress of losing an expensive Navy ship. He is also a newlywed, but their honeymoon is constantly being interrupted, providing numerous opportunities for dumb, sexist comedy. If that wasn't enough, a pretty female Navy officer is helping him find the missing ship, providing even more dumb, sexist comedy. Truly pathetic.
