The Private Navy of Sgt. O'Farrell is a 1968 American comedy film directed by Frank Tashlin and starring Bob Hope, Phyllis Diller, and Jeffrey Hunter. It was the final film for Tashlin, who died in 1972.
Sgt. O'Farrell an Army soldier on an island in the South Pacific during World War II is trying to bring the two basics of life to his fellow servicemen, women and beer. The supply ship carrying the beer is torpedoed and the contingent of nurses consists of six males and ugly nurse Nellie Krause.
The ludicrously sexy and horny flashbacks with Gina Lollobrigida do nothing to undermine the fundamental decency of Hope's O'Farrell, and the present-day shenanigans revolve around trying to make other people happy: the servicemen, the women, even the Japanese.
