“McHale’s Navy”, 1962-1966, TV show, Tim Conway, Joe Flynn, Ernest Borgnine- The PT Boat crews bootlegging, gambling- A popular 60's military TV sitcom

"McHale's Navy", (The Movie) 1964, Starring Ernest Borgnine, Joe Flynn and Tim Conway. McHales Navy

was a TV show but it also spun off

a movie in 1964 because it was such

a hugely popular military sitcom.

A lot of money was spent on creating

a giant set with a lagoon, a Navy base and two real PT boats.

A later "McHale's Navy" movie with Tom Arnold as a stand-in for Ernest Borgnine did not fair as well.
