Trivia

Cary Grant expressed concerns that, at age 53, he was too old to convincingly play a U. S. Navy flier. Producer Jerry Wald encouraged Grant to take the part because his charisma and popularity with the American public far outweighed concerns about his age.

Nathaniel Frey's first film.

Share this

The film's plot was partially based on Frederick Wakeman's novel, "Shore Leave." The book, influenced by Wakeman's own experiences in the U. S. Navy was a satirical critique of war contracts.

Goofs

When Mississip offers a toast in the hotel room, he lists a string of places the Japanese could have ("as far as he is concerned"). Guadalcanal, the second place on the list, is poorly dubbed in to change the line, which originally listed Australia instead.

Share this

The aircraft shown flying off the carrier at the end of the film are Douglas AD-1s. They did not enter service until after the end of World War II.

Share this

It's 1944 when the fliers board the Catalina flying boat in Hawaii, but it has 1942-43 national insignia on the wings. Plain white stars on blue circles, missing the horizontal white stripes with blue border.

Quotes

Cmdr. Andy Crewson: What's the difference how you get it. A cab, a bomb or dysentery, it's all the war.

Share this

Gwinneth Livingston: And that, Mr. Crewson, is why I'm engaged to Mr. Turnbill. He's alive now, and he'll still be alive at the end of the war. He's filthy rich now, and he'll be even filthier rich then.

Gwinneth Livingston: Crewson, I love you very much.
