Michael Powell's golden cocker spaniels Erik and Spangle make their first appearance on film at the house of the aunt of Mrs. Sorensen.
When Powell and the crew went on location to Ramsgate (Eastgate in the film) they sent all their luggage and equipment in cases boldly marked CONTRABAND. Luckily the local wartime Contraband Controllers saw the funny side and when they arrived at the hotel they found their cases had stamps and stencils all over them saying things like EXPLOSIVES, EXAMINED, CONDEMNED.
Mrs.Sorensen:
Did you ever try being married? That can be quite a big adventure.
Captain Anderson:
[sighs] Why do women always say that? Marriage ends adventure.
Mrs.Sorensen:
[copies sigh] Why do men always say that?
Captain Anderson:
Big ships, small adventures; small ships, big adventures.
Lt. Cmdr. Ashton, RNR:
We've seized your cargo. It's contraband.
