Goofs

Anachronisms: In the opening montage of the three soldiers returning home in 1945 after the war, there is a shot of an ocean liner in New York harbor. The ship is the Italian liner Andrea Doria, which did not make its maiden voyage until 1953 (and which sank after a collision in 1956). Also, if the Doria is meant to be the ship the men are returning home on, it is facing the wrong way, headed out of the harbor instead of into it. See more »

Quotes

Madeline Bradville: We had something so wonderful, a totally reformed drunkard who was going to tell us his inspiring story.
Jackie Leighton: Yes, but he got drunk.
