Continuity mistake: When Bruno goes to the Captain, to ask for leave so he can go to his daughter's funeral, he places his cap on the desk in front of him. It slips to the floor, but a minute later his cap is magically back on the desk.
Ensign Pulver (1964)
Directed by: Joshua Logan
Starring: Walter Matthau, Burl Ives, Robert Walker Jr., Tommy Sands
Ens. Frank Pulver: You mean after everything I've told you, you think I could be a doctor?
Scotty: By rights, you should be a good one. You have more people to prove yourself to than anyone I ever heard of. You should cash in on that. My family's in business. They say the big trick is to turn liabilities into assets.
Captain Morton: I don't want a crew of whining sissies with table manners. I want MEN.
Doc: You've GOT men! That's your problem! If we were in combat it would be different. These men left their homes to fight, but they never got into the war! They're in limbo, Captain, trapped between heaven and hell on a floating 10-cent store.
Captain Morton: You "college" officers make me puke.
