Facts from Hellcats of the Navy
This movie's written prologue and dedication seen during the opening credits states: "We wish to express our appreciation to the Department of Defense and the United States Navy for the full cooperation extended to us in the production of this film. To the officers and the men who served aboard the Hellcat submarines during World War II this picture is dedicated."
This movie was the first and only time that former American President and actor Ronald Reagan and wife Nancy Davis (aka Nancy Reagan) star-teamed and made a movie together. The couple however did appear frequently together in television episodes of G.E. True Theater. Technically speaking though, in this movie, Reagan actually received top billing and Nancy second-billing. As the couple have become more famous through time, the perception of their billing has been equalized due to their presidential married status.
The film utilizes an oft-used storyline of the war movie genre which has two soldiers in love with the same girl.
The co-author for the screenplay was credited to Raymond T. Marcus, who was in fact blacklisted writer Bernard Gordon. Ironically, the movie starred Ronald Reagan who was more-or-less a proponent of the blacklist.
The 'Hollywood Reporter' was announced the following to be in the cast for this movie: Frank Bella; Frank Chase; Richard Cutting; James Dobson; and Oliver McGowan. These actors either do not appear to have ended up being in this movie or if so, are uncredited.
