The Caine Mutiny (1954)

Edward Dmytryk's The Caine Mutiny is a solid war/courtroom movie. It takes a while to get going, but DAMN... that final act is great. Humphrey Bogart gives possibly his most nuanced performance, especially in that final courtroom scene he's surprisingly vulnerable. Tho the…

It’s been a long time since I last saw The Caine Mutiny, and there were a number of things I remembered well, and certain aspects I’d completely forgotten about.  What I remembered was the stuff I loved. There are other films with Humphrey Bogart I like more, but this…

72/100 Dump the wet noodle of a protagonist (who does apparently have more of a personality in Wouk's novel) and this would likely vault from impressive to indelible. As it is, hard to think offhand of another Hollywood film that so violently undercuts its ostensible…

Well, he's certainly Navy. -Lt. Keith Humphrey Bogart is one of those actors that brought "cool" to whatever role he played. Whatever situation he's in I think to myself... I want to be Bogart in that situation. Pointing to movies like Casablanca and The Big Sleep of…

Film # 40-From the Embarrassing Never-Seen List After 30 Humphrey Bogart films during 2025, I waited a full 4 days before getting back in my routine, and what a film to start to kickstart my year with, Edward Dmytryk's outstanding US Navy/courtroom drama that has a cast…

A quartet of excellent performances, with Bogart's a first among equals. His Captain Queeg is a masterly display of reined-in panic and bubbling paranoia, failing to disguise itself in martinet behaviour towards his crewmen. When he lays down the law, the comment is made…

It's fascinating how alarming it is to see Humphrey Bogart in color. While THE AFRICAN QUEEN (1951) was his first film in color, the actor is perhaps the icon of monochrome spending the vast majority of his career in black-and-white, but if the times called for the end…

The Caine Mutiny is really a quite excellent movie built on a very strong script and blessed with a near perfect cast who all give outstanding performances. What I really love here is how nothing and nobody is black and white. Characters are nuanced and so are the…

A layered Humphrey Bogart performance, paired with how tangible the practical sets on board the ships feel, makes this Naval-legal drama feel very lived-in. While the courtroom drama aspect is only saved for the final 30 minutes, I thoroughly enjoyed my time aboard the…
