- TriviaThe print shown on TCM is the 1937 re-release, with some bits of 1933 dialogue obviously eliminated in order to meet the stricter standards of the now enforced 1934 production code.
- GoofsThe clothing and hairstyles of Madge Evans and the rest of the female members of the cast, are all strictly in the 1933, not 1918 mode, despite the tremendous changes that had taken place in those 15 intervening years.

Ptomaine: [Commenting on a large-nosed Italian girl] Mack, I don't care what you say. I'm not going out with her!
Mac Dougal - Chief Torpedo Man: Why, there's nothing wrong with her. She's got a mighty trim little hull.
Ptomaine: But I can't see past her bowsprit!
Mac Dougal - Chief Torpedo Man: Well, maybe she's built for speed?
