Nobody's Perfect is a naval comedy about the fictional USS Bustard and the antics of her crew. It is based on the novel The Crows of Edwina Hill, written by author of western novels and former Navy man Allan R. Bosworth.[1]
The US submarine rescue ship's crew has taken a Buddha statue from a Japanese village as souvenir. If the theft is discovered, it would threaten Japanese/American relations. The protagonist is the ship's petty officer who tries to stay out of trouble with his tough captain, return back the statue and woo a Japanese-American nurse.[1]
Movie was filmed onboard the USS Florikan (ASR-9) a submarine rescue ship based in San Diego at the time. Interestingly the Florikan is another name for the Indian Bustard bird. All ASR's were named after birds.
