Audio problem: As Nelson gives the order to dive after the crewmen leave the sub, the dive klaxon sounds, but nobody hit the button.

Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)
1 audio problem - chronological order
Directed by: Irwin Allen
Starring: Walter Pidgeon, Peter Lorre, Joan Fontaine, Barbara Eden
Revealing mistake: During the initial dive the hydroplane on the sail (conning tower) is pointing upwards. During a later dive the hydroplane is pointing downwards. Wouldn't one position cause the submarine to surface?

Answer: Admiral Nelson is puffing on cigars in a few scenes, and his cigars are even a source of dialogue in the film. Specifically, when his quarters catch on fire, the blaze is initially blamed on a lit cigar, to which Nelson angrily replies that he ran out of cigars before the fire ever occurred. So it's a pretty good bet that Nelson was carrying a cigar (or cigars) in his shirt pocket.
