Wacky British comedy with The Crazy Gang! The Monty Python of it's era. Here we get a surrealistic story that mixes navy life with Aladdin's lamp. The lamp however has been sold as scrap metal over the years and now recycled as a button on a navy uniform. So with a little button cleaning the genie of the button Alastair Sim appears and make their crazy life even more mad! The movie is perhaps a little too messy, but it's hilarious too! Especially if one like absurd speedy Brit-style dialogue!
