 In addition, during the progress of making the film, some episodes were added which were not provided for in Agadzhanova's scenario or Eisenstein's scenic sketches, such as the storm scene with which the film begins.As a result, the content of the film was very far from the original script by Agadzhanova.The film was shot in Odessa, which at that time was one of the centers of film production and where it was possible to find a suitable warship for shooting.
