Great acting and great writing. James Michner was a national treasure. What I was able to find out about him is that he moved up pretty fast in the Navy because his name was very similar to Admiral "Pete" Mitscher, a noted figure in WWII naval aviation and many officers assumed he was the admiral's son.
Those films of the 1950's & 1960's didn't have the fancy CGI that are used today like in "Topgun" and "Maverick", but they made up for it with superior substance, directing and acting.
This was not William Holden's most famous movie, but it is one of my favorites. And this was one of the last films made by Grace Kelly before she became Princess Grace of Monaco. Talent by the score!
