...naval units, stocked the ships on Cuba patrol with 45 days' worth of supplies. In one week 350,000 ft. of Kodak photo-reconnaissance film sped to Navy and Air Force flyers. The agency summoned 50 railroad presidents to Washington, got agreement on permanent boxcar rates on military cargo, rather than time-consuming itemizing...

Captain Bligh (Trevor Howard) and Lieutenant Christian (Brando), bound for Tahiti to pick up a cargo of breadfruit seedlings, commence a duel of wills as soon as they put to sea. When the captain gives a seaman 24 cuts of the cat for calling him a thief, the lieutenant reasonably inquires: "If one punishes a man so severely for a minor infraction, what does one do for a serious offense?"
