Filmed on the same sets as Titanic (1953), Gentlemen Prefer Blondes (1953), and A Blueprint for Murder (1953)
The shipboard swimming pool seen halfway through this film also appeared in one of Fox's biggest hits of 1953 - it was the setting for a musical number featuring Jane Russell and a team of body-builders in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes.
The foghorn sounds 107 times during the film.
Coincidentally, Michael Rennie was the off-screen narrator in Jean Negulesco's film, "Titanic," the set for which was used for this film, released four months later.
From 23:45-24:42, Kay Prentiss [Marjorie Hoshelle] can be seen wearing the same dress that Celeste Holm wore at Margo's famous dinner party in All About Eve (1950), three years earlier. Interestingly, Jeanne Crain had been considered for the role of Eve Harrington but was unable to do it after she became pregnant.
