The intelligently adapted screenplay retains all the essence of the novel.
Despite a few flashes of talent in the 40s, Edward Dmytryk had descended to hack status by the time he filmed this 1954 version of Herman Wouk's novel.
The Caine Mutiny, though somewhat garbled, is a vibrant film.
Complex, atypical Bogie performance is keynote for strong drama from Pulitzer-winning novel and Broadway show.
Bogart shines brightest, finding strength in weakness.
This movie gives "standard" quality a good name, and would be worth watching for the trial scene alone where Bogie intensely rambles on about how he studied the wardroom icebox key with "geometric logic."
It's like the well-constructed house that's not meant to be distinctive, but was made to endure.
This courtroom drama, an adaptation of Herman Wouk's novel and play, features Humphrey Bogart in one of his most intense and neurotic performances.
A tired looking Bogey gives a sound but tired performance.
A stodgily liberal courtroom drama.
Top-notch courtroom drama, with Bogie etching another unforgettable character.
A classic wartime drama / courtroom gripper that I'm ashamed to admit I'd never seen before last week. And now that I have, I'm a big fan.
First-rate adaptation of Herman Wouk 's novel
The drama is compulsive and the starry cast make the most of a mountain of words.
Maybe Bogart's finest moment, but overall a weak film if you don't include his performance.
