The Caine Mutiny

top notch esp script performances and how to be horrible with honor lol

Bogart is excellent and very convincing. The dilemma is good and all runs smoothly until the final half hour. Unfortunately the courtroom drama is mediocre, whilst the ending is melodramatic and a real disappointment. Watched on DVD.

One of my favourites with Humphrey Bogart showing his class, taking on an unsympathetic role, brilliantly revealing his character's foibles. The rest of the cast is similarly strong, with Van Johnson and Jose Ferrer as particular stand-outs.

A very good drama with conflicted characters and a great flip of the entire narrative by the end. It is very difficult to disregard how much Bogart makes the whole picture blossom. His performance and his mental state are immensely believable because he never goes off into unhinged yelling.

Starts off slow but it's all worth it in the end. Great drama with great acting. This movie inspired a famous scene from Better Call Saul.

An American classic. Nearly perfect military courtroom procedural. Bogart and Ferrer deserved Oscars for their work.

It was well done, well directed, well acted. I was particularly impressed with Kiefer Sutherland whose performance was nuanced and intelligence, especially because he had the ghost of Humphrey Bogart's 1953 performance hanging over his head. I might quibble a little. The uncertain looks of the judges and the prosecutor were a little early. Queeg's breakdown needed to unfold more slowly. Greenwald's assassination of Queeg was telegraphed too early. But I am quibbling. It was a worthy and professional job throughout.

Very good film (especially the part of court-martial) who puts morale dilemmas. The best Bogart's performance

The plot and the artistic merit turn on Bogart's performance; the problem is Bogart looks too old and haggard (because he is) and one wonders why the entire ensemble is chasing the old guy around. It's not a great look. The production suffered from being pared down more than it should have for commercial purposes and so the entire movie has a turgid feel. I found that I wanted to like it more than I did.

This military/courtroom movie was really good. Humphrey Bogart, Fred MacMurray, Van Johnson, Robert Francis, Jose Ferrer, and the rest of the cast did a fantastic job in this movie. The plot of the movie was dramatic and thrilling. It's about doing what is right even if it means that your life and career could be over. If you haven't seen this classic movie yet, check it out sometime. It's a must see.
