Anecdotes
Jeff Chandler was originally offered the role that went to Cary Grant, but chose to work on Violence au Kansas (1959) instead. Grant himself was at first reluctant to take it, knowing he was much too old to play a wartime captain.

Gaffes
At the end of the movie, as then Admiral Sherman steps off the Sea Tiger, and he's greeted by his wife and two boys, the first lad says "Hi Mr. Grant".. but Grant picks up the pace like no errors had been made, and, of course you immediately have the bus pulling away with the car attached to it. Few people catch the boy calling him Mr. Grant--but it's there.

Citations
Lt. Cmdr. Matt T. Sherman: You see, when a girl is under 21, she's protected by law. When she's over 65, she's protected by nature. Anywhere in between, she's fair game! Look out!

silly and shallow but lots of fun

This movie is a wonderful example of a film that isn't particularly deep or important BUT that still works well because it's so much fun and the writing, though quirky, works. Of course I will admit that the plot from time to time gets really silly (culminating with the sub being painted pink and being forced to go that way into action). I guess it's just that this is a nice blend of acting by Cary Grant and Tony Curtis in a cute little war picture that ALMOST makes WWII look kind of fun. The end result is charming and silly and worth watching but with no real meaning or significance at all--and is that always such a bad thing?
