Alice In The Navy



great old classic movie
I am 63 and when I was 18 I saw this movie. Brought back fond memories of summer vacations in Greece.

better in greek, but still watch it
It's an amusing little story, and you can watch it in english
and be entertained. The problem here is not so much in a cultural barrier as
in the way the movie is dubbed: Hollywood-bland and given stock readings
that take the life out of it. To make it even blander they have taken some liberties with the script... in the one section I saw, where the girl and guy
have a somewhat thoughtful exchange, it's turned it into Hollywood pablum..
So here's your choice: you can watch Alice in the Navy and listen to
this poor actress trying, or not at all trying, to be Aliki Vougiouklaki
or you can go on E-Bay and order a movie called Aliki sto Naftiko and hear the marvelous inimitable Aliki herself along with the excellent Greek cast.
Make sure you specify sub-titles, of course..
I only reviewed this because I hate to see it get one star..and it's a
little unfair to blame a movie entitled "Alice in the Navy" for the fact
that it's not...

Alice in the Navy
I have seen this video before and I expected it to be in greek not in english-I wish it was clear that it was dubbed very badly.
Very disappointing.
