Featuring Cary Grant holding a telltale pink undergarment while Tony Curtis admiringly watches a pair of legs descend a submarine ladder, this playful design is topped with a whimsical caricature of the titular vessel and the brilliant tagline, \"20,000 Laughs Under the Sea!\"\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eFor Tony Curtis, sharing top billing in this picture was the realisation of a lifelong dream. Curtis famously idolised Grant, having just spent a significant portion of his previous blockbuster, Some Like It Hot, performing a spot-on, exaggerated impression of the legendary actor. Grant actually championed Curtis for the role of the hustling Lieutenant Holden, leading to a massively successful production that enjoyed unprecedented cooperation from the U.S. Navy, who went so far as to allow the filmmakers to paint a genuine, combat-veteran World War II submarine (the USS Balao) completely pink for the exterior shots. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYear: 1959\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNationality: United States \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCondition: \u003cspan\u003eUnfolded\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: \u003cspan\u003eOriginal US Insert\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSize: 14 X 36 Inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Code: T6910\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"At The Movies Posters","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56026075660673,"sku":"T6910","price":285.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0268\/4118\/6384\/files\/1_24d6d8a9-b0ea-456f-803d-1a0ccbc84c74.png?v=1785696668","url":"https:\/\/atthemovies.uk\/products\/operation-petticoat-1959-t6910","provider":"At The Movies Posters","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
