Trivia

The model and interior sets of the submarine cost producer Irwin Allen $400,000, so he was naturally quite keen to get some further use out of them. Since the film was a hit, he was able to convince ABC-TV to turn it into a series, which became the longest-running one he ever had. See more »

Goofs

Revealing mistakes: When the UN sub is attacking the Seaview, the same shot of two torpedoes missing the Seaview and exploding on an adjacent underwater mountainside is used twice. See more »

Quotes

Sparks: U.S.O.S. Seaview calling Washington. Come in, Washington.
[pause]
Sparks: Twenty-five hours of static in my ear. Man, I'm getting shell-shocked.
