The Caine Mutiny

"The Caine Mutiny" is a gripping WWII drama centered on a US Naval ship where the captain's deteriorating mental state endangers the crew.

Trivia:

2. The film is adapted from Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, and Wouk himself praised Bogart's performance as capturing the complexity of Queeg perfectly.
3. During production, actual Navy ships and officers were used to enhance authenticity, and the Navy endorsed the film for its accurate depiction of naval procedures and life aboard a WWII vessel.
