On this episode of Cinemallennials I spoke with author James Krouse 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 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.
