	Mister Roberts - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Mister Roberts is a Tony Award–winning play and a 1955 Academy Award–nominated film, both of which tell the story of a naval junior-grade lieutenant during World War II who stands up for his crew against the petty tyranny of the ship's commander.
		Ron Hubbard, during his life, claimed (without much evidence) that Mister Roberts was based on himself and his career aboard the combat support ship USS Algol.
		Mister Roberts was followed by a film sequel, Ensign Pulver, in 1964.

	Reviews of American Century Theater shows
		Often funny but with an undercurrent of bitterness and tragedy, "Mister Roberts" is full of characters who are likable even when they're not being respectable, and its power struggles and lessons of self-worth have kept the decades-old work relevant.
		A memorable line from "Mister Roberts" may claim that the crew merely travels "from tedium to apathy and back again, with a side trip to monotony," but this production ensures that the audience won't feel the same way.

	"Mister Roberts" (1965) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The TV series "Mister Roberts" was a sitcom based on the same source material as the famous film (and stage play).
		The original novel, play and film 'Mister Roberts' are largely concerned with the efforts of naval officer Roberts to get out of his safe posting aboard the U.S.S. Reluctant (a cargo ship in the Pacific during World War 2) so that he can receive a transfer to hazardous duty in a combat zone.
		Also, the original novel 'Mister Roberts' and its stage adaptation were rather startling (at the time) for their bawdiness, entirely appropriate to the story's theme of sex-starved sailors on extended sea duty.

	DVD REVIEW: MISTER ROBERTS (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		The reason "Mister Roberts" arrives on the screen as well oiled as it does is because it played on Broadway for seven years prior to it's big screen adaptation.
		Roberts and the Captain don't see eye to eye, and the Captain uses his grudge against Roberts to punish the crew.
		There are so memorable moments in "Mister Roberts," from the opening shot of Roberts watching a fleet of destroyers in the horizon sailing off to war, to the confrontation between the Captain and Roberts over the men's liberty on a local island.

	THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- MISTER ROBERTS
		MISTER ROBERTS ($25) is one of those classic titles that eluded collectors on Laserdisc for years.

		Still, MISTER ROBERTS is offered in the Letterboxed format, which is great news for fans who have had to suffer through years of watching the film butchered by the pan and scan process.

		What Roberts did last year was a rarity - he joined Wade Boggs in 1989 and Mark Grudzielanek in 1997 as the only players since World War II to have at least 50 doubles and fewer than five home runs.
		Roberts has already matched Boggs' six homers of 1990, which was also Wes Parker's total in 1971.
		Roberts could easily turn back into the good player that was his old self - he didn't hit any home runs last July or August - and join Boggs, Cirillo and Rose as the only players to repeat in the 45 - 15 club.

	AudioRevolution.com DVD Review of Mister Roberts (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		‘Mister Roberts’ is the 1955 screen adaptation--scripted by Frank Nugent and Joshua Logan--of the Thomas Heggen/Joshua Logan Broadway hit about a class of wills between a captain and a lieutenant on a U.S. Navy supply ship in the Pacific fleet during WWII.
		Roberts, the ship’s cargo officer, delights the crew and infuriates the captain (James Cagney) by sticking up for the men and requesting transfer to combat at every opportunity.
		This may not sound like the stuff of comedy, but ‘Mister Roberts’ is genuinely funny and insightful about human behavior under pressure.

	'Mister Roberts' Sets Sail Again (washingtonpost.com)
		The tale of a Navy cargo ship in the Pacific during the waning days of World War II, "Mister Roberts" focuses on executive officer Doug Roberts as he protects the bored crew from its eccentric, mean-spirited captain, even as Roberts longs to escape the ship and fight the enemy.
		"Mister Roberts" also requires more focus on the characters' relationships than is displayed here, particularly the interactions of Roberts (Timothy Andrés Pabon), Doc (John C. Bailey), Ens.
		Pabon's performance as Roberts is a bit problematic, partly because the character is eager for war.

		Roberts called John "Rocky Marciano" in that conversation, which John took as a reference to the time he punched the rich skel Malcolm Cullinin, the man who watched (and videotaped) former PAA Dolores Mayo as she shot up and died.
		Greg and James tell that they've found a sort of journal that Roberts was keeping--they think it's a journal of his cases, but that he was trying to write them up as a novel.
		As Roberts' voice blends slowly with Greg's, we linger at that window, not really a part of what's happening in the Blue world but instead being drawn more into the realm of Robertini until finally our view is of that world.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Mister Roberts: Premiere Collection
		When the time came for Mister Roberts to be adapted for the big screen, Fonda was initially hesitant, and several other well-known actors were offered the lead role.
		It is left to the well-meaning (if temperamental) Roberts to place himself between the captain and the men, trying to keep their morale high while his own sinks further and further with the monotony of cargo duty.
		In addition to Fonda and Cagney, the equally legendary William Powell and Jack Lemmon also star in Mister Roberts, marking the end of one career (Powell retired after the film) and the beginning of another (it was Lemmon's first major role, and he won an Oscar for his efforts).
