Did you know
• The ship, the Sk/S Christian Radich, is home-ported in Oslo and still sails as of 2019. It is possible to book passage on board and in some cases take part in daily shipboard operations as part of a 'trainee' crew similar to that which was shown in the film.
• David Lean has said the shot of the submarine submerging near the Windjammer is his favorite shot in all of cinema.
• The 2010 restoration reformats the picture into a three-dimensional computer graphic, the trademarked Smilebox Curved Screen Simulation, to replicate the film's original theatrical viewing experience.
