series American Gagsters: Great Comedy Teams
Directed by Richard Quine
With Jack Lemmon,Ernie Kovacs,Kathryn Grant,Arthur O'Connell,Mickey Rooney
Before Jack Lemmon donned a dress in Some Like It Hot, he got a lesson in madcap sexual politics as Private Hogan, his first time getting top billing. His chauvinism is put to the test when he falls for a beautiful, educated army nurse. He schemes to organize a clandestine ball to win her heart while evading the meddling Captain Locke,(Kovacs, in his first big screen role). Operation Mad Ball is one of two offerings in this series where Lemmon and Kovacs’ comedic chops are brought to the fore by director Quine.
