The cast was outstanding. I remember Carl Ballantine as Gruber. I can still hear his voice, planning a con with Borgnine. They were always planning something. And they always got away with it. Captain Binghamton (Joe Flynn) was no match for those two, even with Conway's character (can't remember his character's name) getting in the way and not having a clue. I wish I could have seen his act. I'm sure he was hilarious. Sorry to see him go. McHale’s Navy was one of my favorite shows when I was a boy. The cast was outstanding.
