Brand new factory sealed vhs tape is the original release and closest to the original sourceprint. It is full screen making it perfect for old school televisions as it will fill your square frame.

Boredom and pettiness aboard a supply ship in the Pacific during WWII provides the subject for this winning comedy. Fonda is great in the title role as an idealistic Navy officer who longs to be transferred to a fighting ship.

There's rampant scene stealing by Lemmon as a bumbling Ensign Pulver and James Cagney as the neurotic skipper of the cargo vessel. William Powell (in his last role) plays the ship's doctor. A superb blend of hilarity and sentiment based on Fonda's favorite Broadway role.

Due to artistic differances between Fonda and director John Ford, Ford was replaced by Mervyn LeRoy. Jack Lemmon won the Academy Award for best supporting actor in his fourth screen appearance and was also awarded a self-titled sequel, 'Ensign Pulver'.
