Cary Grant descubre con horror que Tony Curtis, el hombre al que le han enviado para reflotar su submarino, es un “hombre de ideas” que poco tiene que ver con el mar en “Operación Pacifico” (“Operation Petticoat”, 1959), de Blake Edwards. #operacionpacifico #operationpetticoat #carygrant #tonycurtis #blakeedwards | Notorious Ediciones

#MovieMonday - Starring Cary Grant and Tony Curtis, the comedy "Operation Petticoat" (1959) is about a fictional submarine but draws on several actual incidents from WWII including when USS Bowfin torpedoed a bus. Both the U.S. and Royal Navy also experimented with pink camouflage which was effective at dawn and dusk but significantly less so in the middle of the day. | U.S. Naval Institute
