Anything with Jack Weston is going to be fun! converted from play to film, Fergie, Eldridge, and Beau (Steve McQueen, Jim Hutton, and Jack Mullaney) are in the navy, which is testing a missile system in Venice. they figure they can use the computer to rig the casino on land, and send the signals from ship to shore. or in this case, ship to casino. things get even more complicated when they bump into the admiral's daughter (a VERY young Brigid Bazlen). and Eldredge's ex girlfriend ( Paula Prentiss ) is in town with HER fiance. the guys get distracted with the girls, and now they aren't sure which mission is more important. it's pretty good. fun premise. mix-ups. shenanigans. the whole works. and Jack Weston always zings up a film. fun. Directed by Richard Thorpe. McQueen, Hutton and Mullaney all died so young! jinxed cast. even Brigid Bazlen died at 44.
