    • Trivia
      Although Jeanette Nolan plays Alan Ladd's mother, she was in fact only two years older than Ladd.
    • Goofs
      At the end of Susan's first visit to Alec's place, one reason she says she must leave is because it is quite late. And it was indeed dark out when she arrived, but it is clearly daytime when she leaves. The scene was obviously filmed during the day. Perhaps processing was supposed to correct this error.

    Made a big impression on me as a kid
    THE DEEP SIX made a big impression on me as a kid. (I don't recall seeing more than bits and pieces since then.) At that time, World War II movies were big, as were afternoon matinees. After watching this we turned a friend's backyard tree into a submarine conning tower, which gave us hours and hours of play.

    Two scenes I particularly remember:

    One is when the Japanese, on the pretext of surrendering on a beach, have a machine gun hidden on the back of one of their soldiers. Suddenly he bends over and the guy behind him opens fire with the machine gun, mowing down the helpless and gullible Yanks.

    And of course the key scene is when the conscientious objector, played by Alan Ladd, finally fires his gun in defense of his fellow soldiers.

    8 out of 10 for the fond memories of youth....
