Line 9:
* [[Bittersweet Ending]]: {{spoiler|Roberts gets the transfer to combat duty he wanted, but dies as soon as he gets there. Doc insists that Roberts' last letter to the crew of the Reluctant be posted instead of the news of his death. Ensign Pulver, who had been afraid of confronting Captain Morton the whole movie, realizes he's letting Roberts down... and charges to the replacement palm tree, tosses it overboard despite the guard, and storms into the Captain's office:}}
{{quote|'''Pulver''': {{spoiler|Captain! It is I, Ensign Pulver, and I just threw your stinking palm tree overboard! Now what's all this crud about no movie tonight?}}}}
* [[Breakout Role]]: Lemmon as Pulver. It won him [[Academy
* [[The Captain]]: Morton, only in title. He's really [[The Neidermeyer]]. Roberts is the one really running the ship. And Morton knows it. Which is one of the reasons - the other is sheer spite - why Morton refuses to let Roberts go.
* [[Corpsing]]: Cagney reportedly had to ask Lemmon to run through one of their scenes several times before filming to get this out of his system, and still just barely managed to keep a straight face.
