Trivia

When the picture was sent to the U.S. Navy for approval, they refused to have its name associated with it because of the sequence at the end when Watson takes over a ship and does some decidedly un-military maneuvers with it. The producers, desperate to receive the support of the Navy, came up with the idea of having Watson accidentally taking a sleeping potion and dreaming the entire sequence. When this scene was shot and edited in, the Navy lent its backing to the picture.
