Trivia
An unscheduled rescue at sea was performed by the actors during production when a launch exploded off the Coronado Islands in the Pacific Ocean. Nine men, members of the film expedition, were in the launch when it's gas tanks blew up, throwing all into the water. Second cameraman Bobby Burns and sound engineer Elmer Ellsworth were slightly burned. William Boyd, James Gleason, Robert Armstrong and the director Al Rogell plunged into the ocean to rescue their assistants.

Errores
The United States entry into World War One is portrayed as coming as a complete surprise to Ginger Rogers and her male friends. In fact, a declaration of war had been pending before Congress for days before the House and Senate voted resolutions. President Wilson signed the Declaration of War on April 6, 1917.

Tiresome WWI romantic comedy/drama with William Boyd as the star...

Three carnival workers romance the same girl until WWI interferes with their plans. They join the Navy and the plot meanders all over the place with tiresome effect.

WILLIAM BOYD (later "Hopalong Cassidy") spouts his dialog in a slow-moving way, and ROBERT ARMSTRONG and JAMES GLEASON mug their way through some silly shenanigans as sailors looking for a good time. Boyd is the Chief Petty Officer who comes out of retirement to rejoin the service. GINGER ROGERS is the carnival gal who can't seem to decide whether to get serious about Boyd or not, until the finale.

It's hopelessly contrived and full of hokey situations, dated dialog and interesting only for a glimpse of the Naval ships.

Summing up: Totally unsatisfying from almost every standpoint.
