The war is long over, but the spirit of men rotting under a vicious squirt of a Captain, with only an intelligent cargo officer Lt. Doug Mister Roberts protecting them, remains an Mister Roberts that people retain sixty years after Japan surrendered. In another review, I mentioned that ironically the American naval mutiny everyone recalls is that on board the U. Caine in the Herman Mister Roberts novel and the film made as a result. That like "Mr. Roberts" was fictional, but the two stories have taken on a life of their own. The stories transcended the events that were the backgrounds for them. Fonda had been in the Broadway production and worked on it with Leland Heyward and , so he knew precisely what was necessary for the film. Ford, before he was fired, set up the film perfectly - he was an old "navy" man himself, so he brought a sense of reality to the project that mercifully was not damaged. One thing that Ford Mister Roberts which was worthwhile was casting Jack Lemmon then Mister Roberts the start of his film career as Ensign Frank Thurlow Pulver, would-be sex object and would-be pain-in-the-ass to the Captain. Lemmon told an interviewer on AMC years ago that Mister Roberts gave him the test for the role that went to , and Lemmon was delivering a speech as an old Irish-American man, complete with a brogue. It was a great opportunity, as it netted Lemmon the first of his two Mister Roberts here for best supporting actor. He would have some great moments here, singing "If I can be with you" several times in the film, watching Fonda and William Powell turn a bottle of Coca Cola into Scotch, explaining to an amazed Mister Roberts Cagney that he has been the laundry officer on the boat for over a year but has managed never to see Cagney, causing a massive explosion in the ship's laundry on May 8,and finally pulling his guts together and taking up where Fonda left off as the movie ends. Fonda, Cagney, Powell, and Ward Bond were all old hands in film. For William Powell, "Doc" would be his last movie role - but a good one as it showed his humanity and wryness so well. Mister Roberts the end, he shows Ward Bond that his wife selected a new wall paper for home, and sent him a sample I keep imagining the wife, of course, is , but that is besides the Mister Roberts. But the scenes between Cagney and Fonda were wonderful, with the latter even when explaining what caused his miserable personality failing to win audience Mister Roberts. Fonda does knuckle under to help the crew, but his act of defiance throwing the palm tree off the boat ends his deference to this tyrant. It is typical of Cagney's acting gifts that he balances the comic and ruthless aspects of his villains. When he finds the palm tree destroyed he starts screaming the line in the "Summary" Line above. As for Bond, besides giving his role as Robert's cargo assistant good mileage, he also makes the word "coffee" Mister Roberts a disgusting and ironic connotation Mister Roberts the film's end. It was a terrific cast in a great film. Did You Know? Goofs When Ensign Pulver is supervising a supply transfer, his uniform shirt is heavily sweat- stained.
