Loved his screwball military comedies... “Operation Petticoat” ... One of my all-time favorites, a close to perfect meld of comedy and drama with excellent characters and actors. Who knew that Fonzie's "Mrs.C" was so zaftig in 1959 and Arthur O'Connell's excellent portrayal of CMM Tostin. The very wry interchanges between Grant and Curtis were so well written as was the rest of the script. Blake's direction worked so very well in keeping this evergreen grin machine going in rerun after rerun!

Supposedly, the most beautiful people to the human eye are those that are nearly perfectly symetrical in their facial features. You tell me:

"Supposedly, the most beautiful people to the human eye are those that are nearly perfectly symetrical in their facial features." Unless half their face is particularly ugly....

I finally got a chance to see a few episodes of Peter Gunn a few months back. Fantastic stuff by Mr. Edwards.
RIP.
