Trivia
The 1997 documentary, The Silver Screen: Color Me Lavender (1997), uses footage of Gary Cooper and George Raft hanging by their thumbs in Souls at Sea (1937) to illustrate the homoerotic possibilities in showing bare-chested men suffering in bondage. There's also a suggestion that the relationship in Hollywood movies between the leading man and his male best friend, while not overtly sexual, is often stronger and deeper than the relationship between the leading man and his leading lady.

Silent screen star John Bowers, who had not worked in films since the advent of sound crippled his career in 1931 heard that old friend Henry Hathaway was shooting "Souls at Sea" on Caralina Island. He rented a sixteen foot sloop and sailed there, hoping to land a part. Unfortunately he did not, and he left the island but did not return, his drowned body washing up on the shore at Santa Monica. His apparent suicide was the inspiration for the character of Norman Maine in the three versions of "A Star Is Born."

The original cast list for this film lists actress Viva Tattersall as playing Queen Victoria, but the entire sequence at Victoria's court was cut from the film before it was released.
