Featured review
I, am retired US Navy, from a Navy family. I am also a naval history buff. I can watch this movie time and time again.
I have seen some errors in the cinematography over the years.
1. In the scene where Spig and Jughead give each other the thumbs up.
See if you can find it.
2. When Spig attends the accident board for loosing his aircraft, he is standing at attention holding his hat. The hat is missing the gold band.
Dialog
When Spig arrives at the ship, he refers to: being back with "Joc, and the ole Doc".
The ole doc I assume refers to the senior medical officer at San Diego. who never appears again after the hospital scenes.
Joc, is the CO of the Carrier, but I cannot find him in any scenes prior to the pier side scene at the ship.
