Goofs
As the sub departs from S.F., passing under the G.G bridge, a mountain is seen behind the boat. There is no 'mountain' in that location. The only real mountain anywhere nearby is Mount Tamalpais (< 2,600 ft), and it is north of the bridge, which is off screen to the left. See more »

Great propaganda film for WWII. However, can anyone really believe that Cary Grant is from Oklahoma City? Since the Doolittle raid was in April of 1942, the movie has to begin on Christmas day 1941 - a little less that three weeks after the US got into the war. But the Captain says that this is their 5th tour. Cookie says that the previous Christmas (1940) they spent getting depth charged. Unless they decided to get into the war before it was declared. By the way, the actor who played Cookie is not the Alan Hale who went on to become the Skipper in Gilligan's Island. Alan Hale died in 1950. The Skipper was his son, Alan Hale, jr.
