Blake Edwards directs with his customary wit, breeziness, and acute sense of pacing.

Operation Petticoat has no more weight than a sackful of feathers, but it has a lot of laughs.

RTTime OutJan 26, 2006

Not unpleasant, but the situations (including the inevitable invasion of women aboard the sub) are horribly familiar, and the dialogue none too inspired.

Woefully dated.
