Additional Information
How can an officer in his right mind "misplace" a fully-equipped destroyer escort?
Officer and gentleman by Act of Congress -- man, somebody goofed!
Wedding night or not...Jerry's gotta find his "mislaid" ship!
Out on a limb...looking for the destroyer he "misplaced"!
Don't Give Up the Ship stars Jerry Lewis as a navy officer who is whisked away from his honeymoon by a senate investigating committee. The committee would like to know what happened to the U.S.S. Kornblatt, the battleship Lewis had commandeered during the War; the crew arrived home safely, but the battleship completely disappeared! Jerry suffers from a mental block concerning the Kornblatt, so the navy assigns a beautiful psychiatrist (Dina Merrill) to probe his subconscious. With the help of an ex-sailor from the Kornblatt (Mickey Shaughnessy), Jerry locates the wreckage of the ship, tracing the responsibility of its disappearance to the investigating committee chairman (Gale Gordon). Based on a true incident (!), Don't Give Up the Ship stands up today as one of Jerry Lewis' best films.
On his wedding day, John Paul Steckler VII (Jerry Lewis), is tracked down by Navy officers for having misplaced the navy destroyer-escort, USS Kornblatt, following World War II. He is charged with finding it, and through a series of comedic capers told through flashbacks, the viewer follows him along during his pursuit.
