Factual errors: When the peddler, Quoc, tries to sell his 'real' pearl necklaces, he says that the oysters worked for a year to produce the set he had. To generate pearls of that size, oysters incubate them for several years at least. In addition, matched strands of pearls are rarely ever completed in one cycle, but may take as much as ten years to acquire enough pearls of the same color and size for a necklace.

Quotes:

Henry Blake: I sure wish I knew what was going on.
Radar: I'll tell you later, sir.
Henry Blake: You know Radar, you always say that, but you never do.
