| | Description: | MISTER ROBERTS - The USS Reluctant carries cargo along World War IIs forgotten Pacific seaways. Beyond the horizon, the real war passes it's stir-crazy crew by. Mister Roberts, directed by John Ford and Mervyn LeRoy, is the classic story of men fighting to survive not wars dangers, but it's indignities. Henry Fondas reprise of his Tony®-winning Broadway role returned him to movies after seven years away. Jack Lemmon won his first Academy Award®* as hapless, lecherous Ensign Pulver. James Cagneys petty, scrappy Captain makes a fierce adversary. In his final film, William Powell makes world-weary Doc a sage for the ages. Mister Roberts has moments of unforgettable humor. But sadness tempers the comedy. No shot is fired. No blood is spilled. Yet Mister Roberts endures as one of our most truthful war sagas. Run time : 2 hours and 1 minute"Mister Roberts" is a classic American comedy-drama set aboard a U.S. Navy cargo ship in the final days of World War II. The Blu-ray edition from WARNER ARCHIVES presents the film in high-definition, allowing the Cinemascope images, the nuanced performances and the mix of humor and melancholy to come through with exceptional clarity. At its core, the story follows Lieutenant (j.g.) Doug Roberts, an officer who longs to see real action at the front but is stuck on a backwater supply ship under the command of an egotistical and petty captain. Torn between duty to his men and his own frustrated ambitions, Roberts becomes the moral center of a crew desperate for dignity and relief from monotony.
This Blu-ray edition offers a strong transfer that respects the original look of the film, with clean visuals and well-balanced sound that emphasizes the lively ensemble dialogue as well as the quieter, reflective moments. Fans of classic Hollywood will appreciate how well this release preserves the rhythm of the screenplay and the interplay between characters, while new viewers get a definitive way to discover an iconic piece of mid-century American cinema.

"Mister Roberts" features a distinguished ensemble cast. Henry Fonda, in one of his most celebrated screen roles, brings quiet integrity and moral strength to Lieutenant Roberts--a continuation of the principled characters he embodied in acclaimed works such as "The Grapes of Wrath" and "12 Angry Men." James Cagney, a legend of American cinema known for his dynamic presence in films like "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and his earlier gangster classics, portrays the ship's stubborn, authoritarian captain, giving the film a powerful antagonist whose rigidity clashes with Roberts' humanity. Jack Lemmon, who would go on to win multiple Academy Awards and star in landmark comedies and dramas including "Some Like It Hot" and "The Apartment," appears as the hapless but endearing Ensign Pulver, injecting the film with nervous energy and comic timing that helped cement his status as one of Hollywood's most versatile actors. William Powell, famous for his sophisticated charm in "The Thin Man" series and other 1930s and 1940s hits, adds gravitas and warmth in one of his final film appearances. The film's direction, rooted in classic studio-era craftsmanship, balances character-driven humor with poignant reflections on wartime service, making "Mister Roberts" both a crowd-pleaser and an enduring portrait of men caught between routine duty and a longing for purpose. | | | Actors: |
