Yep, that and "Is that a real live gun?" are actual lines in this not so funny attempt at a campy World War II comedy starring 40's matinee idol George Montgomery and a bunch of untalented non-actresses (playing obviously untalented showgirls) much younger than him (although a few look rather blowsy, like life hasn't been gentle on their surface) stranded on an island in the Philippines and dealing with Japanese soldiers. Absolutely ridiculous from start to finish, this cheaply made drive-in fiasco isn't even decent as a fun bad movie. Watching this study of females walking through a jungle setting in dresses and heels just becomes a very eye rolling experience, and not in the way that made "Gilligan's Island" fun with everything that Ginger and Mrs. Howell got to wear.
This is nothing but an excuse for them to strip down to the bare essentials, basically frilly underwear made to look like exotic bathing suits. Montgomery is still quite handsome, but his attempts at doing these types of films lowers him to the level of legendary 40's bad actor Sonny Tufts who was doing his share of ridiculous films in the '60s as well. You expect that from him, but not by former heartthrob Montgomery, one of the targets of one of the "Three Little Girls in Blue" (1946). Scantily clad Japanese soldiers bathing add some unintentional laughs because they don't look anything even close to Asian, and when they discover one of the bathing suits that has been removed, I did find myself howling, but not in the way the writers would have liked this to have been howled at.
