The Admiral Was a Lady
Ex-WAVE encounters four fun-loving, work-hating men, all of whom want to marry her.
From the archive
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0042182/ Really enjoyable movie set just after WWII about a woman ensign (nicknamed the admiral) who falls in with a gang of lovable losers - four ex-GIs who work diligently from dusk to dawn at finding ways to avoid work. There's a silly subplot about them trying to get her back together with her long lost fiancee, and an even sillier sub-sub plot about a rich millionaire and meddling detectives. The main point of interest is the repartee between the "admiral" and the men. Sometimes she's tough as nails, but at other points it's like Dorothy's relationship with the tin man, the lion and the scarecrow. Edmond O'Brien, Wanda Henrdix, Rudy Vallee, Steve Brodie, Hillary Brooke and more
