Product Description

Amazon.com essential video
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

 Delightful WWII Movie Behind the War Zone June 28, 2009
W. C. Klein Jr. (Lake Forest, Illinois USA)
I have seen this once or twice on television although I may have seen it originally at the local singleplex movie theater in Maplewood, New Jersey at some point in the early 1950's. This title was not available at Blockbuster and I am very glad the Amazon.com had it for sale.
I watched it on my new 55" Sony LED Television with my 12 year old grandson. I was very pleased to see bright and solid colors given the potential of old Technicolor film to degrade. My grandson and I LOVED the movie. For children and grandchildren who are interested in the history of past wars, this is a interesting human, vignette about the Captain and crew of a merchant marine cargo ship in the backwaters of the American military/naval push toward Japan.

Henry Fonda was a great actor and should have received Acadamy Award for this performance.

I really do not understand what a product link is, and this "share your opinion" is not user friendly.
I suggest you have multiple choice questions instead of your present model.
I was able to view the video/movie and did enjoy it, and I could not ask for more.

Mister Roberts is STILL the "Classic Film" I recall, from so many years ago, and worth the quite-reasonable cost to obtain it, for my Home Library.
Best movie ever... October 6, 2008

This movie is always on the top of my list. If you are a fan of the military classics, this is a must-have for your collection. Henry Fonda played this role in the play before the movie was made, so, his portrayal of Mr. Roberts is flawless.
The story is both heart-wrenching & hilarious at the same time. I, personally, cannot get enough of the crew posted on "The Bucket".
