World War II Movie Night

101. "Mister Roberts" (1955)


Listen Later

World War II Movie Night returns with a classic, 1955's "Mister Roberts." Follow Henry Fonda (the titular character) as he juggles the dysfunction of his ship, from the dire morale to a vindictive captain (Jack Cagney) to the unruly Ensign Pulver (Jack Lemmon, who won an Oscar for the role). Palm trees, nurses and a goat keep things humming... asides include the legendary John Ford (and how he treated his actors), Betsy Palmer's unlikely late-career boon, and my thoughts on a certain dynamic of the the man-woman thing.
