Amazon.co.uk Review
Humphrey Bogart is heartbreaking as the tragic Captain Queeg in this 1954 film, based on a novel by Herman Wouk, about a mutiny aboard a navy ship during World War II. Stripped of his authority by two officers under his command (played by Van Johnson and Robert Francis) during a devastating storm, Queeg becomes a crucial witness at a court martial that reveals as much about the invisible injuries of war as anything. Edward Dmytryk (Murder My Sweet, Raintree County) directs the action scenes with a sure hand and nudges his all-male cast toward some of the most well-defined characters of 1950s cinema. The courtroom scenes alone have become the basis for a stage play (and a television movie in 1988), but it is a more satisfying experience to see the entire story in context. --Tom Keogh

4.0 out of 5 stars don't forget fred mcmurray, 24 Mar 2005
By john souray (london United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I don't want to take issue with the claim that Bogart is the best actor in the cast (review above), but you can't overlook the underrated Fred McMurray (yes, as in Flubber and the TV series My Three Sons). Lovers of the novel will know that it is Keefer, not Queeg (Bogart) who is the real villain. At the end of the day, Queeg is no more than an ordinary man promoted beyond his competence; it is the cynical, superficially witty novelist Keefer who provokes the mutiny, and having led less clever, more honest men to this dangerous end, carefully distances himself from any responsibility. McMurray turns in the slimiest of performances, outdoing even his overbearing bullying boss in Wilder's The Apartment (with Jack Lemmon and Shirley Maclaine). A truly memorable screen villain, all the more powerful for coming from an actor better known for light comedy.

Jose Ferrer, as the defence counsel, Greenwald, deserves an honourable mention as well. No mere two hour film could do justice to the richness and subtlety of Wouk's novel, but this is as decent a stab as you could hope for.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Gripping Bogart!!!, 15 Sep 2003
By Jennifer A. McFarland "jnnfmcfrl" (Poconos PA United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This is a masterpiece of cinema. A MUST SEE, hands down. The beauty of it is that although Bogart is obviously the best actor in the cast--- he was more than content to play someone not in control and be more in the background than he was accustomed to doing. The scene in the courtroom is a classic, tense and gripping! The famous scene is well remembered for Bogie's losing it all and yet unsuccessfully trying to hold himself in check by rotating a pair of metal marbles...showing through his insanity. This is a must have for any classic film collector and a crowning jewel for Bogart. Don't miss this one!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars Good acting, bad script, 14 Nov 2001
By Jonathan Bryce (Waitakere NZ) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Herman Wouk used to produce this type of thing a lot, I believe. The "Mutiny" has Bogart as an obsessed Captain Queeg, intent on running the ship his way. His way includes some dubious decisions - like ransacking the ship to find some missing strawberries - until he is relieved by the ship's officers. The film ends with a trial of the mutineers, with Bogard brilliantly defending his record, while rotating two ball-bearings to relieve tension.

The film has multiple scenes of melodrama for which I can't forgive Wouk. Bogart is good, as is Van Johnson - but the film hasn't aged well.

5.0 out of 5 stars Caine Mutiny
Bogart is superb, and so is Ferrer. Lee mMrvin is no western crook this time, but a plain belivabel sailor. This is a film everybody should have in his collection.
