    • Trivia
      The studio got the US Navy's permission to join 200 ships and 10,000 men in the Virgin Islands to film a three-day assault on the Puerto Rican island of Vieques. Some of the footage was included in this movie. The cast and crew boarded in St. Thomas and filmed bad the U.S.S. Randall (renamed the "Belinda" in this movie). The crew shot deck and aerial photography of the Navy's maneuvers. Director Joseph Pevney hired 25 Marines as extras.
    • Goofs
      About a third of the way through the film, the Belinda is shown taking part in the assault on Makin Atoll. Numerous hilly and mountainous islands are seen. However, in real life Makin is extremely flat.
    • Quotes

      Commander Quigley: Get this wardroom cleaned up right away, will you? This is most unappetizing.

      Mess Attendant: [sole spoken line by an African-American in entire film] Aye, aye, Sir.

    It's Better Every Time I Watch It
    Away All Boats is a World War II movie about men at sea. The first time I watched it, I thought it was rather slow moving. I've now seen it 5 times, and it gets better every time. I catch something new each time I watch it. I'm looking forward to seeing it again. How did I miss so much the first time I saw it? I now love the pace of this movie and see that it is well suited to telling the story. The photography is great and sometimes even spectacular in Away All Boats. There are also some nice moments of humor in this movie. I recommend this one. 8/10.
