About This Movie

True to the Navy is a quirky little film that blends action, comedy, and romance in a way that's pretty unique for its time. Directed by Frank Tuttle, it brings you to the lively San Diego Soda Shop where Ruby, our counter girl, finds herself in amusing situations with sailors. The pacing is brisk, filled with zany moments that keep the energy up. The chemistry between the leads, especially Ruby and Bull's Eye McCoy, is playful yet complex, highlighting themes of love and commitment – or the lack thereof, in Bull's case. The practical effects, while not groundbreaking, add a charming touch to the naval antics. It's one of those films that captures a certain era’s spirit, making it a curious watch for collectors interested in early sound cinema.
