Trivia

Helen and Frank met a little differently than in the movie. In her book, "Who Gets The Drumstick?"after Helen moved to San Francisco, she wanted to honor her dead husband's wishes by enrolling her children in parochial school. She finally found a school run by a nun, Mother Superior Sister Mary Eleanor. As she was enrolling her children in the school, Helen told Sister Mary that she was a widow with eight children. Sister Mary then confided to Helen that she has a brother with ten children who recently lost his wife to complications from diabetes. Helen asked Sister for Frank Beardsley's address and she sent Frank a copy of a prayer that she clipped out which gave comfort on dealing with a loss of a spouse. Encouraged by her brother and sister, Helen went on a batch of unsuccessful blind dates. When a friend's husband died, Helen wanted to send her a copy of the prayer that she sent Frank. She wrote to Frank asking for a copy of the prayer. Frank sent it back and a correspondence immediately began between Helen and Frank which finally led to another blind date. This time sparks flew between them. See more »

Goofs

Factual errors: When Frank goes to his carrier's flight deck to halt the launch of the mail plane, he is wearing a ship's ballcap. After packing, he returns to the flight deck wearing a combination cap. In fact, neither hat is permitted on the flight deck during flight operations, as they are easily sucked into a jet engine intake, causing foreign object damage. Further, no one is permitted on the flight deck without the cranial helmet, goggles, and hearing protection that we see the catapult launch officer wearing, except for pilots and necessary flight crew going to and from their aircraft.
