The Admiral Was a Lady is a 1950 American comedy film directed by Albert S. Rogell. As the original movie poster says, “The Admiral was a Lady but she taught these ex-GI’s maneuvers they’ll never forget!!! … it’s zany in a wandafull sort of way!” She's in for a wild ride, when Jean Madison, Wanda Hendrix, a WAVE Ensign, meets the crew of an Army Air Corps, A-20 Havoc light bomber named Cynthia, who are living high, as members of the "52-20" club; a program where unemployed American veterans received $20 unemployment benefits for 52 weeks. When receiving her own cheque, Jean meets their leader, Jimmy Stevens, Edmund O'Brien, who recruits her. Jimmy has proven his men are looking for work with a classified ad, "Combat Crew for hire; eager and willing to drop bombs", but had no offers, in post-war America. First, Jimmy shows her how to avoid the cheque cashing fees by opening an account with a bank where she is rewarded with a ceramic piggy bank, which they take to the pawn shop, for some more money. Jean borrows the phone, at the pawnshop, only to learn that her fiancée, Henry, is not waiting for her, as she expected. All she wants to do is get on the bus back home to Walla Walla. LESS
