Movie Description
In director Edward Dmytryk's classic seafaring drama, privileged mama's boy Ensign Keith (Robert Francis) gets assigned to the Caine, a rusty old minesweeper with a haggard, undisciplined crew during the latter days of WWII. Soon the paranoid, strawberry-loving Captain Queeg (Humprey Bogart) takes charge and tries to clean up the ship, arousing the hatred and suspicion of the other officers, especially a flippant lieutenant (Fred MacMurray). Eventually the men stage a mutiny, and a subsequent trial ensues, at which point a sharply intelligent military lawyer (José Ferrer) takes up the matter.


Dmytryk's fast-moving, intelligent adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Herman Wouk novel features breathtaking outdoor scenes on actual naval vessels. Bogart's performance as Queeg is one of cinema's greats; a true departure from his usual tough guys, he captures his character's confused vulnerability with astounding finesse. Ferrer is also sensational as the lawyer. A solid crew rounding out the cast--Lee Marvin, Van Johnson, E.G. Marshall, and Claude Akins--helps make this one definitely see-worthy.

Credits
Producer:Stanley Kramer
Cast:Lee Marvin, Robert Francis, Tom Tully, Warner Anderson

Notes
Theatrical release: June 24, 1954.

Filmed on location at Naval Station Treasure Island, San Francisco, and Yosemite National Park.

Humphrey Bogart's performance as Captain Queeg is particularly memorable for his quirks--the character is obsessed with strawberries and constantly rolls ball bearings in his hand.

Richard Widmark was originally considered for the role of Queeg.

THE CAINE MUTINY features the debuts of Robert Francis and May Wynn.
