*** This review contains spoilers ***Fonda, Cagney, Powell, Lemon. What more could you ask for? Being a huge fan of all four actors, for me personally, Mister Roberts may be the greatest accumulation of actors ever; thus I will try my best to contain my inner fanboy.

(BluR) No se distingue a Ford de Le Roy porque los dos se manejan muy bien con las estrellas, los diálogos encajados en la puesta en escena de 'brillo invisible'. Eso sí, lomás 'stagey' de Ford, Las olas se notan de utilería. La mejor escena, Fonda el impecable, poniéndose su orden de la palmera y despidiéndose de los muchachos...Ford siempre fue un desfasado pero aquí más.

" Director: John Ford His 63rd movie My 14th movie watched from the director One of those 50s comedies that must have been dated pretty quickly. It's light comedy about war, strange, and stranger yet with the ending that is trying to be emotional. The acting saves it and it moves along nicely.

Best Picture Nominees (in Ten Sentences) (478 movies items)

"Based on the first Tony Award winner for Best Play, "Mister Roberts" is about a U.S. Navy crew of 62 seamen aboard the USS Reluctant in the Pacific Ocean during the waning weeks of World War II. Lieutenant Doug Roberts (Henry Fonda), bored of being stationed on the vessel, requests one liberty for his men to Captain Morton (James Cagney), only to find the results turned upside down.
