    A rather bland story of a good man actually came from the hands of two great directors. Can you imagine how boring it would be without Jack Lemmon? I feel more and more that Henry Fonda's facial paralysis is...

    1. Xinyi Rama's wide-screen drama, the boundless blue seascape is quite eye-catching. 2. The cast lineup is amazing, and there is no actress, which is normal, the US Navy. 3. The witty and funny anti-war film, palm trees and palm badges are...

    I laughed so hard at the fried laundry room... There are a lot of small highlights in this film, the characters are also distinct, the conflict between depression and...

    The story is set on a U.S. Navy transport ship in the late World War II. It is not a war movie, and there are no war-related scenes from beginning to end; it is a comedy movie, but it is, but the ending is sad. The captain of the transport ship is vain, has a strong desire for power and control, is jealous of his colleagues, and does not care about his subordinates; the first mate Roberts has a strong sense of responsibility, understands and cares for his subordinates, and the relationship...

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!*
