"Mister Roberts" features a great cast of stars directed by one of the best! Henry Fonda, William Powell, and James Cagney all shine in some of their most memorable roles. Cagney is magnificent in a different kind of part as the over the top, hilarious Captain Morton. Henry Fonda is wonderful as the kind-hearted yet strong-minded Lieutenant Roberts. And William Powell provides humor and sympathy as Doc, his last major screen role. Last, but certainly not least, newcomer Jack Lemmon shines as Ensign Pulver. He holds his own among some of the greatest Hollywood actors ever, and walked away with an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.
Brilliantly directed by one of Hollywood's masters, John Ford, "Mister Roberts" is a movie that is hysterically funny at some times, and heartfelt and touching at others. It's definitely a must-see, classic film that I strongly recommend to anyone!
