 THE CINEMA LASER DVD REVIEW-- THE CAINE MUTINY
THE CAINE MUTINY is one of Bogart's most memorable films because of his truly standout performance as a less than perfect Naval Officer who snaps under the pressures of command during W.W.II.
However, it is Queeg’s indecision during a typhoon that forces the officers of The Caine to relieve the captain of his command.
THE CAINE MUTINY was made just as Hollywood was moving from the standard 1.33:1 aspect ratio to wide screen and the film looks as though it could be shown either way.

Even a critic disposed to question the validity of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial as a drama of real depth must acknowledge the exceptional efficiency of the action and the theatrical force and ingenuity of the writing.
I got you off by phony, legal tricks--by making clowns out of Queeg, and a Freudian psychiatrist--which was like shooting two tuna fish in a barrel--and by 'pealing very unethically and irrelevantly to the pride of the Navy.

Queeg (Patrick Egan), beleaguered commander of the "U.S.S. Caine," is sworn in by Lt. Challee (John McCluggage) in "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial."
Egan's portrayal of a man who crumbles under pressure is fascinating--his hands jitter, his eyes dart and he talks incessantly and rapidly--but he never establishes his character's authority, making it hard to understand why Queeg was ever given a command in the first place.

Set on an obsolete destroyer-minesweeper during World War II, "The Caine Mutiny", seen through the eyes of a young officer, Willie Keith, tells the story of an inadequate captain whose mismanagement leads to his relief from command when a crisis confronts the ship.
The mutiny, the defense and the acquittal of the Executive Office Mayrk, all revolved around psychological theories of mental illness.
It is particularly ironic that Keefer, the real instigator of the mutiny, the junior officer who most lack character, fails when he finally becomes captain of the Caine- he buckles under pressure and prematurely abandons ship after it is attacked leaving our hero, Willie Keith, in charge.

Queeg begins by making some dubious decisions, chewing out a sailor for sloppy dress while permitting the Caine to cut it’s own tow line, he is a micro manager that is obsessed with picayune details while losing track of what is important.
The final act of this drama comes during the court marshal of the officers of the Caine.
The framing of the scenes were well done but after viewing both a full screen and widescreen copy of the movie I have to say that not much is added to the content that is out of the 4:3 area.

Queeg is a tough, no-nonsense veteran officer who turns the crew into proper sailors and the Caine into a tight ship, engendering resentment from some of the men and several of his officers.
When, because of Queeg's temper, the Caine steams over its own tow-line on a routine target-towing assignment, the captain is pushed into irrational behavior in trying to explain it away.
Greenwald confronts the Caine's officers at their "victory" party, criticizing them for their foul treatment of Queeg, and their failure to offer him the loyalty and support that he was entitled to as captain, and which would likely have averted his breakdown in the first place.

 Caine Mutiny
Although The Caine Mutiny certainly respects the "realities" of Navy law and procedures, it can also be seen as a sophisticated look, through the codes and conventions of Classical Hollywood, at issues that both encompass and reach beyond maritime law.
The Caine Mutiny employs this stylistic pattern once more in order to represent the film's most bizarre legal drama, the case of a missing quart of frozen strawberries.
Queeg, despite his performance on board the Caine and on the witness stand, still ranks as a hero because he had taken on a job during the 1930s that Greenwald and all of the other reserve officers in the room had disdained.

Herman Wouk's novel "The Caine Mutiny" was an exciting, extremely dramatic story; Herman Wouk's play "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" is not.
The eponymous court-martial is a hearing on a charge of mutiny brought by a young lieutenant, Steve Maryk (Steve Monarque), who relieved his captain of command of a Navy ship during a typhoon.
Maryk's claim is that Lt. Commander Philip Francis Queeg (James Morrison) lost control of the ship and was incapable of making rational decisions -- that he had, in fact, become increasingly erratic in his behavior during the months of his command leading up to the event in question.

 The Caine Mutiny
Based upon the Pulitzer Prize winning novel of the same name by Herman Wouk, The Caine Mutiny is the story of a war scarred minesweeper with a war weary crew inflicted with a new captain in the form of Philip Queeg (Humphrey Bogart).
Amongst the crew is a newly minted and idealistic Ensign Willie Keith (Robert Francis in his debut), appalled by the lacklustre attitude of the "Caine" and brightened by the prospect of the new captain - only to have his idealism knocked out of him by the realities of life.
Tom Keefer (Fred MacMurray) and the executive officer Steve Maryk (Van Johnson) aim to depose the somewhat irrational captain when his paranoia becomes too obvious, which is ultimately achieved during a rather severe typhoon, when the ship is about to head to the briny deeps.

The CAINE MUTINY goes after the matter head on, and doesn't get lost hero-worshipping the attorneys (like FEW GOOD MEN does).
Bogart is excellent as the Caine's captain, and Fred MacMurray smiles and charms his way perfectly in the role of Tom Keefer.

The story is by now well known, and there have been several adaptions of this book, including "The Caine Mutiny Court Marshall", which, while good as far as it goes, fails to illustrate the chain of events which led to the trial in the first place.
This film, however, does it all, and the actual trial in the final forty minutes or so of the picture is the climax.
