Notes describe crew providing technical assistance for the production of Away All Boats now showing at the Paramount. The article highlights the craftwork involved and its prominent role in the film.
Lt. Cmdr. Edmund Thomasen, commander of the Naval Reserve Training Center at Liverpool, helped with the Virgin Islands shoot for Away All Boats. He spent two months with Universal International crew and served aboard the attack transport used in filming. Several sailors acted, the studio aimed for authenticity, and one cast member caused brief worry.
In a scene, actor George Nader slipped into the sea and was pulled out with little alarm from the crew. Thomason noted sharks swarmed the area once Nader was rescued, revealing a surprising underwater risk. Meanwhile, U.S. income data show a shift in earners from 1950 to 1955 with fewer families earning over 4000 annually.
At Loews State and Strand theaters, showings included Somebody Up There Likes Me and Johnny Canada.
