The Caine Mutiny (1954)


Listen Later

On this episode of Cinemallennials I spoke with author and TikToker James Krouse about his book,  A Bird in the Deep: The True Story of the USS Partridge.” And how it relates to 1956’s The Caine Mutiny starring former Navyman himself, Humphrey Bogart.


 The Caine Mutiny is not like a lot of the films that we have covered on the show before, while it’s a hidden gem for millennials like myself and the younger generations, to James and those of his generation who grew up with the film it’s one of the most influential depictions of military life and court life on screen and one of the most influential films for directors like William Friedkin and Vince Gilligan

 

The Caine Mutiny follows the story of ensign Willie

Keith, a bright bushy tailed sailor that is soon thrown into an impossible situation for the American Navy,  a mutiny. Played by the legendary Humphrey Bogart, Keith's captain, Queeg causes
mayhem accusing the men of hiding keys, trying to cover up his own mistakes and lashing out harsh punishments for minor infractions. Will the captain get his just desserts or is he just a symptom of a larger illness? You’ll have to be the judge of that. So sit back, relax, and try not to fidget too much. 



Cinemallennials is a podcast where myself and another millennial are introduced to a classic film for the very first time ranging from the birth of cinema to the 1960s. Myself and my guest will open your eyes to the vast landscape of classic film as we discuss the films' performers,  their performances, those behind the camera, and how they and their films still influence our world today.
