Robert Newton served on the HMS Britomart (a Minesweeper) during WW2 for a few years. He was given leave to film a movie, but during that time, the ship was sunk during an incident involving friendly fire from another vessel, killing everyone on board. Losing men he had become close friends with resulted in him suffering depression, and possibly survivor's guilt. His friends also said he began to drink more after that.

Probably one of, if not the nastiest character Robert Newton has played was James Brodie in "Hatter's Castle" (1942). Meanwhile, in real life, he was shy, considerate, gentle, self-conscious, but also rebellious, and hated false authority. One time, he was filming a movie where the Director wanted him to physically hit the actress he was working with, simply because the Director wanted the scene to be more "Authentic", but Robert refused.

What difference does one more Ass make?!"
