Trivia

Goofs
At the end of the film as Gordon Jackson and Rona Anderson are walking from the cliff top, it is obvious the two people are stand-ins (the girl has fair hair and a pony-tail!)

Quotes
Joe Drummond: But you're working on the Clyde, boy, and that's an honour in itself if you'd the sense to see it. Ship-building started here more than a hundred years ago. Take away the Clyde and Britain would be sunk in any war we ever had to fight. This is the cradle of the craft my lad, all about you.

Crazy credits
Opening credits prologue: THE CLYDE - CRADLE of SHIPBUILDING

This film is dedicated to all the skilled and devoted men in whose hands the proud tradition of the Clyde is in safe keeping.
