由劳伦斯．巴斯奥夫编剧兼导演的本片是一部轻松的喜剧，藉四名海军菜鸟的三天度假生活，带领观众在加州的沙滩、**酒巴、马杀鸡旅馆等地参观了一遍。虽然剧情简单，但已得到一种闲适的观光乐趣。本片的四位男主角都是观众并不熟悉的喜剧新秀，但演出颇为生动自然，而且各俱风格。至于故事内容，则主要在“声”与“色”方面着眼，描写四人到酒巴看艳舞，或是在健美中心“泡妞”，故画面不免有酢胸美腿，在处理上尚算乐而不淫，偶然能制造出一些令人感到相当好玩的笑料，很适合观众的休闲心理。看完此片应能感到一种不花脑筋的娱乐效果。
Four sailors have just completed basic training in San Diego and are granted "liberty" for one long weekend before they go their respective ways in the Navy.
With passes in hand, they head for L.A. for a little fun. They have several misadventures in Watts, Venice Beach, and a strip bar before they meet some ladies interested in men in uniform. They have one crazy time before they end up at Union Station and part ways for the open sea!
一句话评论
72 Hours of liberty to forget everything the navy taught them
