About Mister Roberts
Henry Fonda re-created his Broadway hit for this 1955 film that was mostly directed by Fonda's frequent collaborator, John Ford (Young Mr. Lincoln, My Darling Clementine)--an ailing Ford was replaced at some point by Mervyn LeRoy--and the results are exceptionally fine. A perfect cast, including James Cagney's irascible captain, William Powell's thoughtful physician, and Jack Lemmon's Oscar-winning Ensign Pulver, give Fonda the right boost to portray his ennui-burdened officer with dignity, self-effacing humor, and not a trace of self-pity. A wonderful film. --Tom Keogh Amazon.com essential video

A movie about a supply ship with a crew that is frustrated with a potentate of a captain. A true powerhouse of casting. Great acting with a storyline that has you laughing one minute, and teary eyed the next. It really does not get any better inside this genre. Henry Fonda is Mr. Rogers, and you will love him too.

In addition to "Mr. Roberts" being a great classic drama/comedy from WWII, the tranfer of this 1955 film to DVD is quite good. Presented in anamorphic widescreen (it was filmed in Cinemascope), the picture is sharp and crisp and the colors are perfect. I viewed the DVD on a large screen (46-inch) high definition TV, played on a Toshiba 1080p HD DVD player. The sound is also excellent. Highly recommended!

Mr. Roberts has no special effects, nothing blows up, no sex scenes, no profane language, and yet it is one of the finest films i have ever seen! If you haven't seen Mr. Roberts yet, Your in for a real treat!
