in the Village Center

Rob Goldstone presents this 1954 blockbuster, based
on the novel by Herman Wouk, with an all-star cast that includes Humphrey
Bogart, Van Johnson, Fred MacMurrary, E.G. Marshall, Lee Marvin and many
others. During
the Second World War, onboard a small insignificant ship in the U.S. Pacific
Fleet, an event occurs unlike any that the United States Navy has ever
experienced. A Ship's Captain is removed from his command by his Executive
Officer in an apparent outright act of mutiny. As the trial of the mutineers
unfolds, it is then learned that the Captain of the ship was mentally unstable,
perhaps even insane. The Navy must then decide: was the Caine Mutiny a criminal
act or an act of courage to save a ship from destruction at the hands of her
Captain? Goldtsone also
presents little-known film facts and behind-the-scenes trivia about the making
of the film. Not Rated.
