| Caine Mutiny, The
|
(1954 Edward Dmytryk)
svensk titel: Myteriet på Caine
'The Caine Mutiny' is a classic film about the unstable Captain Queeg (Humphrey Bogart) and his tumultuous command of an old minesweeper and her weary crew. On the high seas during the dramatic battles of World War II, Queeg's by-the-book approach pushes his crew and his popular second-in-command, Lt. Maryk (Van Johnson), to the breaking point. After a series of questionable orders, Maryk confronts Queeg when he orders the ship directly into the path of a deadly typhoon. Maryk invokes naval code and relieves Queeg of his command, forcing the crew to mutiny. Once safely back in port, Maryk is court-martialed for treason, setting off a tense trial that exposes the true state of Queeg's mind.
Nominated for Best Actor, Humphrey Bogart gives a searing performance as he is systematically broken down in this classic tale of military conduct in a time of war.

"The Mutual Films, vol 1 & 2" 300:-
Charlie Chaplin entered the film industry in 1914. By 1916 he was the highest-paid entertainer in the world after signing a contract with the Mutual Film Corporation for a salary of $670,000.
Mutual built Chaplin his very own studio and allowed him total freedom to make 12 two-reel films during a 12-month period. Chaplin subsequently recognised that time as the most inventive and liberating of his career. These 12 films, brought together for the first time in this newly remastered release, demonstrate the breadth of Chaplin's abilities as both a physical entertainer and a subtle, endearing character actor.
