Mister Roberts

Mister Roberts



An excellent story set during World War II about a discontented navy officer, Mr. Roberts (Fonda), who has to deal with boredom and a tyranical, overly ambitious commanding officer (Cagney). The plotline is good as is the combination of comedy and drama. Superb cast also includes William Powell in his last film role and Jack Lemmon in his Oscar winning performance as Ensign Pulver.

Stars: Henry Fonda, James Cagney, William Powell, Jack Lemmon, Ward Bond, Harry Carey, Jr.
