Uncredited roles:
Susan Flannery (Steno girl), Paul Carr (Crewman Clark), James Doohan (Larry Tobin), Barry Kroeger (Chairman), Tom Palmer (Dr. Taylor), Lorence Kerr (Joe Oberhansley), James Seay (Secretary of State), Irwin Allen (Crewman's voice), Viola Harris (Secretary), Paul Sorenson (Man) (edit) The steno spy has been listening in on the high-security discussion, so she knows that the information being carried by Kowalski will be the coordinates for the renedezvous point. After all the trouble they go to in waylaying Kowalski, the enemy never makes use of the information. (edit) During the "egg demonstration" a cigarette suddenly springs into the Chairman's mouth. We might possibly have missed seeing him lift the cigarette up, but a short time later, while both hands are full with Dr. Rettig's lead apron, the cigarette vanishes completely. (edit) Watching the diving bell being lowered, it slowly swings out of sight of the observation nose. We hear a tremendous crashing sound, but neither Crane nor Nelson is alarmed. The assumption might be that the noise was the bell connecting with the hull--but when the camera cuts away to an outside view, the bell has not yet connected. (edit)
