Corrected entry: The Seaview is rushing to the Guam area to launch the missile. They keep saying that time is critical but all the shots show them going there submerged. A surfaced submarine can go much faster.
Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea (1961)
1 corrected entry
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?

Question: What does Admiral Nelson have in his left shirt pocket?
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.
Correction: The Seaview is a highly experimental craft (throughout the movie and the following TV series, it's established that the Seaview is faster and more maneuverable than any real-life submarine) whose drive method is never stated, other than it doesn't use propellors. Considering this, it's hardly implausible that the Seaview carries a drive system that functions more efficiently when fully submerged, driving it faster despite the increased water resistance.
