Facts about

The word "muir" means "the sea" in Gaelic. Many times sailors are said to have been "married" to the sea, or that the only woman they ever loved was the sea.
One of a small handful of films produced by 20th Century-Fox which does *not* use the fanfare of trumpets with the opening logo. (All About Eve, Sounder, and The Sound of Music are others.) The moody and lovely opening music is by the film's composer, Bernard Herrmann.
