Anecdotes
This is believed to be the first of a handful of films shot in the short lived Panacolor system. Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer struck the U.S. release prints in their own lab under the Metrocolor label.

Gaffes
When Lt. Wye is transferred to the island, the shoulder patch on his uniform changes to one signifying the U.S. Army's Ryukyu Command. This film is set during WWII and this patch did not appear until 1950 (although some references state it was unofficial as early as 1947).

Citations
Lt. Molly Blue: So I date a lot. I admit it. I'm shopping around. I'm 22, Merle. By the end of this war, I may be 30.
Second Lt. Merle Wye: That's why I say, "Gather ye rosebuds, while ye may."
Lt. Molly Blue: Oh, I wish I had a dollar for every time that's been suggested. You could at least be a little more original.

thorpe, hutton and prentiss make another one

Starts out kind of slow, but from the credits, we see Jim Backus (Thurston Howell !) is in here, so it must get better. Stars Jim Hutton as a WW II soldier Wye, who gets clunked on the head playing baseball. his hospital nurse is Lieutenant Molly (Paula Prentiss), who he knew back in school. Then Wye is shipped out. by now he has hit it off with nursey, so he's trying to track her down. Hutton made five films with Prentiss during the 1960s. and Walk, Don't Run with Cary Grant. Sadly, Hutton died quite young at 45, making for a short career. it's kind of a slow boil, but entertaining enough if you hang in there. Backus is the Commander, blustering and storming about. they should have used him more, or something. Observant viewers will spot Miyoshi Umeki, who was also Mrs. Livingston in "courtship of eddie's father". it's all okay. Directed by Richard Thorpe; started in the silents, and directed right up into the 1960s. Thorpe had just made "honeymoon machine" with Hutton and Prentiss in supporting roles the year before. Original book by Gordon Cotler, who had also written the story on which they based Arabesque! It's pretty good, but wasn't nominated for any awards. Thorpe won a few film festivals, and even got a star on the walk of fame, but also was never nominated.
