Trivia
Brett Halsey was a sailor in real life prior to taking up acting, and is the nephew of WW2 Admiral "Bull" Halsey.

Goofs
The amount of time it would have taken for the father to drive to the doctor (without the baby), and for the doctor to drive back, would have resulted in the death of the baby if he had truly been choking. Additionally, no parent would leave a sick baby to get the doctor under those circumstances; they would take the baby to the doctor. A similar error takes place when Matthews leaves the doctor at the store instead of taking him along to the cabin. This would have caused a needless delay in the patient getting medical treatment.

Quotes
[first lines]
Narrator: Across the nation, men of the Highway Patrol remain constantly alert to crime, danger, and violence. They know that even in a lonely, isolated service station, tragedy can strike hard and fast. To a sailor and his girl, there was no sign here of impending disaster - nothing to warn them that in a matter of moments, they would be trapped in a nightmare.
