It adheres very cannily to television's basics for comedy. It's directed at lightning pace. It has one setting. The actors who play its Allied wise guys and German boobs mug for and milk every line of the script for its laugh values.March 02, 2021
They might have carried it off if there had been originality other than the setting. Bob Crane, as Hogan, and the cast tried hard, but what can you do with a smudged carbon of jokes that were old when TV was born?March 02, 2021
Jack Lemmon-like Bob Crane, slick and funny as Hogan, gets lots of excellent support, especially from co-star Werner Klemperer as the gullible Col. Klink.
