* RetroactiveRecognition: DeanStockwell who played Donald, the boy who wanted nothing more than to join the Navy, would many years later be seen as a Rear Admiral in ''Series/QuantumLeap'', and as the Secretary of the Navy in ''Series/{{JAG}}''.

* IdiotPlot: If anyone had simply told Donald you have to be over 18-years-old to join the Navy once they'd gotten him home, the whole plot could have been avoided.

Added DiffLines:

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: The film was released as a moral booster for the US Navy. While WWII was clearly coming to an end in Europe, it was still raging in the Pacific where the Navy was actively engaged against the Japanese. The opening sequence is clearly designed to make the nation feel good about its naval forces.

* FranchiseOriginalSin: This was one of the earliest works where at least one of the two of the [[Franchise/TomAndJerry iconic duo]] in this case, Jerry talked. It wasn't that much of a problem here as Tom and Jerry only appeared for a short time and the scene was basically a dream.

* BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The entire sequence where Gene's character is in a cartoon world and meets Jerry. It has nothing to do with the plot, and yet it's what most people remember about the film.

It has nothing to do with the plot, and yet it's what most people remember about the film. It was so memorable, that in the ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' episode "Road to Rupert", much of the sequence was reworked to draw Stewie Griffin over Jerry (though the latter's reflection on the floor is still visible).
