Character mistake: As Torrey's launch heads for his new flagship, a signalman calls to the quarterdeck that the admiral's party is arriving. However, the signalman gets his signals mixed, addressing his message to the signal bridge from the quarterdeck, instead of the other way round.

In Harm's Way (1965)
1 character mistake
Directed by: Otto Preminger
Starring: John Wayne, Kirk Douglas, Patricia Neal, Tom Tryon
Factual error: Throughout the film the characters are often seen riding in M151 jeeps (horizontal grill slits) which were not in production until the Vietnam era. Odd because they did have a few correct era Willy's jeeps on the set, usually seen in the background
Captain Rockwell Torrey: We both know what's eating you, Paul. You can't wash it out with booze.
