Trivia
With Errol Flynn recovering from a broken ankle sustained while filming Against All Flags (1952), Universal-International took advantage of the standing sets for that film by putting together this modest epic during the hiatus.

Goofs
Porter was stepfather to Farragut, not just another junior officer, and they did not serve on the same ship during the West Indian campaign.

Quotes
Cmdr. David Porter: I'm afraid there's a limit to nobility... even for Americans.

a kind of oasis

history and romance. atmosphere of a lot of other adventure films from the period. and something different. maybe the humor or the different manner to use ingredients of original recipes. in fact, a film who has the charm of the heroic stories and something more. maybe the acting or the American implication in a different European problem. maybe the absence of Errol Flynn and the inspired measure in definition of character by Jeff Chandler. or the performance of Joseph Calleia who explores the each side of his character. a film of great images and full of air from childhood books. an oasis for different viewers. and, sure, a certainly delight.
