Because for a long time the only widely-available print of this film did not have any opening titles, it was unofficially called "The Letter" in several George Reeves fan sites. A 2007 DVD release perpetuates the error. "The Letter," however, was never an official title for this film, which was made and released as "Time to Kill."
Although the characters portrayed in this film are Navy sailors, all of the male actors were actually members of the U.S. Army Air Forces, which produced the film.
