    • Trivia
      The musical number "Happy Talk" (sung by Bloody Mary) was inexplicably jettisoned from this version because its lyrics were deemed racially insensitive to modern audiences, despite the fact that all of Bloody Mary's dialogue and songs are written in a similar pidgin vein.
    • Goofs
      The film depicts the military using a Grumman Goose seaplane. The Goose was never used by U.S. forces outside of the U.S. or in any war zone.
