Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaDuring the film the ship's captain incorrectly informs the bosun that the English Royal Navy ship 'The Bounty' and its captain 'William Bligh' are a work of fiction. This will come as a surprise to the Pitcairn islanders, as they are directly descended from the mutineers of The Bounty.
- GoofsThe US Navy in WW2 was racially segregated. African-Americans were limited to stewards or chef mates. The film in several places them among the crew in roles that would not have been allowed at the time. While there were gun crews entirely made up of African-Americans, these were voluntary positions in addition to their assigned roles. Further, the crews did not serve together with the white gun crews.
- Quotes
Buck Fitzpatrick: You know better than to sound off like that. The captain knows what he's doing and he's right.
Chris Jordan: He's your tin God - you shoulda married him.
Buck Fitzpatrick: I ought to kick you over the side and I would too if it wasn't against regulations.
Featured review
Hello Columbia, time to release this one on video!
I saw this movie in the 1950s in its theatre run. It stuck with me as a tale of considerable heroism, although the years may have taken their toll on the precision of my memory. If Columbia would release it on video I'd run right out and buy it, Grade B or not. Better yet, the tale within it would lend itself well to a major studio "Saving Private Ryan" blockbuster, so how about it, Hollywood?
