Trivia:

The film had to be recut after the S.S. Ionian was sunk by a German mine on 29th November 1939, en-route from Crete to Hull, only three months after filming.
The S.S. Ionian was a Royal Mail steamer ship.
All three ships from the British Mediterranean Fleet's 1st Battle Squadron (at the outbreak of World War 2) are seen in this film; HMS Barham, HMS Malaya, and HMS Warspite.
