In the Navy	comment	In the Navy is a 1941 military musical comedy starring Bud Abbott, Lou Costello, Dick Powell, and The Andrews Sisters. Like Buck Privates, which came out earlier the same year, it was successful with audiences and critics, though not quite to the extent of the earlier film.Hugely popular crooner Russ Raymond (Powell) abandons his career at its peak to join the US Navy under his birth name, Tommy Halstead. Unfortunately for Tommy, paparazzi reporter Dorothy Roberts has found out, and intends to photograph him and expose him to the world. Tommy falls in with sailors Smokey and Pomeroy (Abbott and Costello), who agree to help him evade Dorothy. Pomeroy, for his part, is besotted with Patty Andrews of the Andrews Sisters, and has actually wooed her with his letters, but Patty soon discovers he's only a short, unimpressive little fellow, not that this slows Pomeroy down from trying to prove himself. Also, Pomeroy has fallen into some money, courtesy of a misunderstanding with an unwary shore patrol officer, and Smokey is determined to lighten his pockets a bit. Hilarity Ensues.

In the Navy / int_1e7487cd	comment	Breaking the Fourth Wall: At the end, Flotsam and Jetsam hide a dynamite stick in front of Pomeroy's drum, and light a long fuse during a musical number... but it fizzles out right before the fuse reaches the dynamite. Pomeroy then addresses the audience, saying "I bet you thought it was gonna go off!" right before the film literally ends with a bang.

They instead stand in front of a window and watch. Unfortunately, the fight comes to THEM, smashing them through a window right in front of a group of officers.

In the Navy / int_ab8e26e2	comment	Slipping a Mickey: Pomeroy does this to himself. Smokey gives Pomeroy a tube full of sleeping solution so he can lie in sickbay out of uniform and maintain the ruse of him being an admiral to impress Patty. Pomeroy accidentally knocked it into the captain's orange juice, and the plot changed to him impersonating the captain. Except he actually drank it early when he took a sip and the whole thing was All Just a Dream.

Pomeroy tries returning them, but the officer thinks they're an attempted bribe and chews him out even more, demanding he "keep" the money. Pomeroy obliges.
