- William Powell's (1892-1984) last role, even though he lived for many years afterward. Powell frequently forgot his lines, which was one of the reasons he retired from acting.
- Initially, the US Navy strongly objected to the filming of this movie. Naval command was not pleased with the public seeing Captain Morton portrayed by James Cagney (1899-1986), and had no intention of assisting the filmmakers in any way. However, director John Ford (1894-1973), himself a former naval captain, called friends at Navy headquarters in Washington, and thus secured the Navy's cooperation.
- Although he played Lieutenant Doug Roberts in the Broadway production, Henry Fonda (1905-1982) did not immediately get the role in the film version (producers thought Fonda, who was already 50 years old, was too old for the role). The role was first offered to Marlon Brando (1924-2004), but he was busy with another project. Then the offer was made to Tyrone Power (1914-1958), but the director insisted on Fonda, with whom he had worked before, and even threatened to leave the project if Fonda wasn't cast. The producers didn't want to let go of the director with six "Oscars" and gave their consent. During filming, Fonda and Ford constantly argued. Fonda had been playing this role for two years, so he knew his character well. Ford saw him differently, and immediately fired any actors who disagreed with him. It ended with the producers organizing a meeting between the director and the actor to smooth things over, but at the meeting, Ford suddenly punched Fonda. Shortly after that, Ford left the project altogether (the official explanation was his health problems). Mervyn LeRoy (1900-1987) and then Joshua Logan (1908-1988), who had directed the Broadway production, finished the filming. The credits list directors John Ford and Mervyn LeRoy.
- The script featured a stunt involving a motorcycle falling into the water from a pier. The stuntman hired for this purpose refused to perform it. Then, the director hired an ordinary bystander, who turned out to be a Marine named Jack Lewis, who didn't even know how to properly ride a motorcycle. Ford was going to pay him $700, but the Navy forbade paying a serviceman. Then Ford went to the nearby Hilton hotel and arranged with the management that Lewis would drink for free at the hotel bar for a year.
