Was it only coincidence that four of the crew members were played by actors who appeared in Richard Crenna's greatest ( and least known) series, Slattery's people? Simon Oakland was in "How do catch a cool bird of paradise?", Ford Rainey "When is the next Bandwagon?", Larry Gates was in "Where Vanished The Tragic Piper?" , and Gavin Macleod was in " What is the price of genius next week?"
Incidentally, WHY IS THERE NO BIOGRAPHY OF RICHARD CRENNA?

Yes I agree. The fight at the boom was a great scene.
"check the imdb cast list before asking who portrayed who in movies please"

Seeing Col Trautman fighting a boarding action with 1911 in one hand and an officers' sabre in the other was one of my favorite movie scenes of all time.
"and Mrs. Taylor sure seems to use a lotta ice, whenever he's away."
