I have noticed that "Ice Station Zebra" has an all male cast,the movie "The Women" has an all female cast, and the movie "Bugsy Malone" has an all children cast (NO ONE WAS OVER 15). Can anyone think of any other movies that have such characterizations.
shareCan't overlook the all-male cast of "12 Angry Men"...
shareThe Thing (1982) has an all male cast. well except for a female computer voice but she only has two lines.
shareHell in the Pacific is an all-male cast though there's only two actors in the whole film.
share20,000 Leagues Under the Sea...........all male.
share As pointed out, there's women in the background, but another Sturges film, The Great Escape, qualifies as an all-male cast.

"Aliens: All male plus one newt."
Uh, what? Try again. I count at least three women not including newt.
I think the implication was, correctly, that there were 3 women trying to be men and only ONE succeded.

Sleuth (1972) all male cast.
Although it was a TV series rather than a movie, Lancelot Link, Secret Chimp had an all-chimpanzee cast.
Cast with all black actors.
shareThe Original Thunderbird Movie... All Puppet Cast.
The Dirty Dozen... All Male Cast
Could be argued that there is the women in the bunker in the gasoline and grenades scene in "The Dirty Dozen". Although I suppose they would be considered as extras. And there is the woman that Telly Savalas' character holds at knifepoint as well.
How about 'King Rat' - cant remember any women.
You forgot about the scene with the hookers in The Dirty Dozen.
It ain't easy being green, or anything else, other than to be me
Sleuth - only Olivier & Caine.
Terror Of Tiny Town - All midget cast
Southern Comfort - Basically all male (no credited ladies)
The Boys In The Band - All male (duh)
Bill And Coo - all BIRD cast
The Lonesome Stranger - all monkey Western
How about one man show movies, like Give 'em Hell Harry?
"The Love Guru" (2008)
All the actors were painfully unfunny, unwatchable and unforgivable for that mess.

Battleground, with John Hodiak.
Help stamp out and do away with redundancy
Wow, just saw a retro trailer for that on TCM last night...I thought it looked a bit corny....

There are two women with speaking roles in BATTLEGROUND, one is played by Denise Darcel. The other, uncredited I guess, is nursing wounded GIs in a makeshift hospital.

I'm posting this here after being unsuccessful in getting whoever it is that is supposed to to include these comments on the "Goofs" page. A number of the entirely too-typical pompous armchair warriors who have unaccountably been able to post successfully there have gotten some basic facts absolutely wrong.
First, it is FAR from a "serious breach of military protocol" or any such thing for the Marine captain (James Brown)to leave his cover on once aboard the boat. Everybody wears their covers aboard if they feel like it, with the one obvious exception, in terms of protocol, per se, being that you don't wear it to sit down to eat; I don't even remember for sure anybody making any particular effort to remove theirs if they were just passing through a mess (either the crew's mess or the officer's wardroom) to grab a quick cup of coffee without sitting down there to drink it. You'd probably also expect him to remove it when entering a space to address the captain, out of courtesy, but again I don't know that that is really ironclad, especially if the Marine is wearing a sidearm, which alters the usual rules.
Second, the use of the term "ship" rather than "boat" is not by any means incorrect. While the traditional slang expression that submariners use for their ships is "boat", "ship" is technically correct and in the earlier days of nuclear submarines there was some conscious effort expended by some people to try to get people to start using that word in place of "boat". While by the 1980's, certainly, this effort had not paid off, this movie takes place many years earlier, and "ship" remains technically correct to this day and is used in giving formal commands such as, "Diving Officer, submerge the ship!", etc.
The third criticism of misplaced and unfounded accusations of goofs that aren't by people who might be better described as goofs themselves is my personal favorite. Some real know-it-all (a real "qui no sabe" for sure) claims that the amber appearance of the window that Ernest Borgnine and his escort look through at the reactor at one point must be erroneous because radiation is blue! Truly the mark of what in submarines would be something even less accepted on board than what we would call a dink nonqual nub, this is an assertion that would have any real nuclear submariner rolling around laughing on the deck plates, except that in their usual way their first inclination would be to give the offending "load" who made that claim withering looks that should make him feel no more than two mils tall. In fact, that bit of film studio art department representational work is actually 100% precisely accurate, something that really took me by surprise the first time I saw it. If there is one thing any lay viewer of this movie now knows about nuclear submarines after seeing this movie that he did not know before, it is what the viewing window on a typical nuclear submarine of the period when this movie took place looked like. The fact is that nuclear radiation is entirely invisible, but the glass of the window the characters are looking through is composed of a substance which is opaque to radiation, for obvious reasons, and results in an amber tint to the glass, and that's about it.
There are numerous other goofs or at least questionable aspects to various things you see in this movie -- for one thing, it seems to have a ridiculous amount of extra space and empty berths in it compared with a real submarine (and yes, while since the 70's at least the slang term for berths in the U.S. Navy is "racks", in earlier days it WAS in fact "bunks" -- I just don't know when or how the change took place), and for another, the stuff that Jones says about the torpedo tube door interlocks is ever so much mumbo-jumbo and entirely fictional -- but I'll save all that for some other time.
Objective Burma has an all male cast.
