    It was co-produced by John Ford and Melvin Leroy and adapted from a popular Broadway drama. I thought it was a war movie. I didn't expect it to be a comedy most of the time, and there were no war scenes in the movie. The performances of the four leading actors are worth watching, especially Jack Lemmon added a lot of jokes to the movie, which makes the movie less ugly. In 1964, the sequel "Ensign Pulver" (Ensign Pulver) was also launched, but it failed...

    The first half of the film looks like an absurd slapstick drama, but at the bottom of the black humor, it deeply reflects the war-weariness of people in the later period of the war. The second half of the film is deeply moving and shocking. That symbol The imprisoned palm tree was thrown into the sea twice, symbolizing the overthrow of power and the cry for...

    Although it has always been a very unique World War II movie, it always feels like a relaxed and delicate normal movie. The last second is suddenly absurd...Roberts and the doctor's scene is very fond of! That part of mixing Coke with whiskey is so cute! ps is so happy to recognize Jack Lemmon!...

    As long as I overcome the exaggerated and artificial performance that I don't like at the time, it is a good movie about brotherhood through the war. There is no shortage of people like captains in any era. I am wondering if sobel in bandofbrother has a reference to this role. Lemmon's co and the captain meet and meet each other in a scene where I don't know each other and almost make me laugh crazy. The application foreshadowing through the whole film is very well laid out, and the section...

Mister Roberts quotes

  • Doc: That's mostly what makes physical heroism - opportunity. It's a reflex. I think that seventy-five out of a hundred young males have that reflex. You take any one of them. Say even Frank Thurlowe Pulver, here. Put him into a B-29 over Japan, and you know what you'd have?

    Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: No I don't, Doctor.

    Doc: You'd have Pulver, the Congressional Medal of Honor winner. Pulver, who single-handed shot down twenty-three attacking Zeros. Pulver who, with his bare hands, held together the severed wing struts of his plane, and with his bare feet successfully landed his mortally wounded plane on his home field. Reflex. It's like the knee jerk. Strike the patella tendon in any human being, you produce the knee jerk. Look.

    [Doc hits Pulver in the knee and nothing happens]

    Ensign Frank Thurlowe Pulver: What's the matter, Doc?

    Doc: Nothing, but stay out of B-29s, Frank, my boy.

  • Lt. j.g. Douglas A. Roberts: Captain, you told me...

    The Captain: Never mind what I told you. *I'm telling you!*
