I think the audience of millions created by the book will not be disappointed. Those who are innocent of the troubles aboard the Caine will find this version of them engrossing.

It is to the everlasting credit of the motion picture industry... that in recent months there have been so many excellent translations into screen terms of great books. Standing preeminently high in that category [is] The Caine Mutiny.

Just enough of the central situation is preserved to keep the film dramatically on its feet

Not so well-knit and forceful as From Here to Eternity, the picture still has plenty of punch.

| Original Score: 4/4 | Apr 19, 2024

As The Caine Mutiny approaches seventy years, Bogie is impressive as ever and the film remains an equally impressive ensemble drama.

Bogart’s performance in the climactic scene was so powerful...

An interesting and often appealing picture.
