The USS Elmira is doing missile tests under the code named Operation Honeymoon using a supercomputer called Magnetic Analyzer Computing Synchrotron (MACS). Nerdy civilian scientist Jason Eldridge and Lt. Ferguson Howard (Steve McQueen) go ashore in Venice. Howard has an alternate scheme in the casino for the computer. Admiral's daughter Julie Fitch stumbles into the wrong hotel room.
I love Steve McQueen. That's what this movie has going for it. Brigid Bazlen is a teenager and she looks like one dressed up to sneak into a bar. He has over a decade on her and it feels like it. They would be better to go with the older chick even if she is nothing more than a model trying to act. The romantic chemistry has trouble heating up. It's all McQueen and a few of the other guys like Jack Weston who had some fun with the material. The plot is silly enough for the limited screwball comedy. It's not great but the McQueen charm keeps it from faltering.
