Has exactly two things going for it

First - Cary Grant was such a consummate professional. His performance as the WW2 sub captain thinly veiling his exasperation is the best thing about this lumbering comedy which, scattered titters aside, is dreary when it's not being misogynistic. Tony Curtis is an obnoxious presence throughout.
Second - the submarine painted pink. I liked that.

I agree with everything you said. Even when I was a kid and teen (the age brackets when it's easy to non-critically perceive entertainment as much better than it actually is) this movie failed to appeal to or at all impress me.

Yes, I am certain I watched this when I was a kid - it was one of those Sunday afternoon on BBC2 films - but nothing about it stuck in my memory, which is a bad sign. Similarly themed (war-era) comedies of the '50s, such as Mr. Roberts and The Teahouse of the August Moon, for example - remained much more vividly imprinted in my mind, and when I rematched them as an adult they have held up.
