Trivia

Debut of Lee Marvin.

This movie's US alternate title, U.S.S. Teakettle, is a reference to the patrol vessel's name in the film. The United States navy vessel's engine has steam turbines which use steam to drive it just as a tea kettle "steams" when it boils.

Goofs

When we first see Gary Cooper he is in a car driving onto a Navy base. There is a guard stationed at the base who waves Cooper in. The guard has a 1911 Pistol holstered on his belt. There isn't a magazine inserted in the pistol so he is guarding the front gate with an unloaded weapon.

In the scene where they are rolling depth charges off the aft deck during a drill, Lee Marvin is first seen as a radio man on the bridge, then after a cut, he is on the aft deck with the depth charge crew.
