A World War II submarine commander finds himself stuck with a damaged sub, a con-man executive officer, and a group of army nurses.
Editor's Verdict
"Operation Petticoat is a WWII comedy/war film whose primary narrative revolves around submarine mechanics and nurse transport. The only detected 'Christmas Element' is 'Holiday Release,' which is a release schedule artifact, not a narrative element. There are no indications that the plot, setting, themes, or iconography are related to Christmas."
