(1954, Edward Dmytryk) Aboard the minesweeper Caine in the South Pacific, Captain Humphrey Bogart keeps getting distracted from the war by those darn missing strawberries, and then a typhoon strikes. All-star filming of Herman Wouk’s monster bestseller, with Fred MacMurray at his slipperiest, Van Johnson stalwart as the fall guy, and late-arriving Jose Ferrer forcing Bogart’s ‘Queeg’ to get out those little steel balls for his spectacular disintegration on the witness stand. DCP. Approx. 125 min.
