    The first half of the film looks like an absurd slapstick, but at the bottom of the black humor, it deeply reflects the war-weariness of people in the later period of the...

    Behind the black humor is the love of comrades-in-arms in the army, especially when Fang Dabie is on the medal made by the sailors. . .

Mister Roberts quotes

  • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Doc, that new hospital hasn't got nurses, has it?

    Doc: It didn't have yesterday.

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: It has today.

    Doc: And how did you find out they were there?

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: It just came to me all of a sudden. I was lying on my bunk this morning, thinking. And there wasn't a breath of air. And all of a sudden, a funny thing happened. A little breeze came up, and I took a big, deep breath, and I said to myself "Pulver, boy, there's women on that island!"

  • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Frank, I like you. There's no getting around the fact that you're a real likable guy.

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: Yeah? Yeah!

    Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: But...

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: But what?

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: I am not!

    Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: You're not what?

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: I am not disorganized!
