No McHale?
This is a hilarious movie but I've always wondered why Ernest Borgnine did not appear in it?

shareApparently he had a bad relationship with the director of this movie Edward Montague who strangely enough was also the producer of the TV show McHale's Navy. When told that Montague was going to be directing the film and not just producing Borgnine demanded they triple his salary. Instead they opted for no McHale. At least this is what Borgnine says.
shareCarl Ballantine wasn't in this either. I wonder what the reason behind that was? It's an enjoyable film, but without McHale and Gruber it just wasn't the same.
