EP is the frogman, and although it's not possible to sing while breathing with a regulator, it is possible to fight underwater. So in addition to our requisite bar brawl, we get a watery fight too.
I think it's only 2 girls chasing EP, with moderate pressure. Each is more interested in other things than romance.
PH is EP's old buddy. He collects phone numbers and photos of datable girls in swimsuits, and puts them on a wheel to spin for whom to call when. It's only used once, but he sings about it while his Navy buddies use it. Each photo also lists the girl's measurements: bust, waist, hips.
The problem with making films with multiple distributors is they don't coordinate release dates well. The next musical is another EP film, but from MGM.
