Product Description:

Amazon.com essential video:
Henry Fonda re-created his Broadway hit for this 1955 film that was mostly directed by Fonda's frequent collaborator, John Ford (Young Mr. Lincoln, My Darling Clementine)--an ailing Ford was replaced at some point by Mervyn LeRoy--and the results are exceptionally fine. A perfect cast, including James Cagney's irascible captain, William Powell's thoughtful physician, and Jack Lemmon's Oscar-winning Ensign Pulver, give Fonda the right boost to portray his ennui-burdened officer with dignity, self-effacing humor, and not a trace of self-pity. A wonderful film. --Tom Keogh

I really do not understand what a product link is, and this "share your opinion" is not user friendly.
I suggest you have multiple choice questions instead of your present model.
I was able to view the video/movie and did enjoy it, and I could not ask for more.

Mister Roberts is STILL the "Classic Film" I recall, from so many years ago, and worth the quite-reasonable cost to obtain it, for my Home Library.

This movie is always on the top of my list. If you are a fan of the military classics, this is a must-have for your collection. Henry Fonda played this role in the play before the movie was made, so, his portrayal of Mr. Roberts is flawless.
The story is both heart-wrenching & hilarious at the same time. I, personally, cannot get enough of the crew posted on "The Bucket".

Wonderful showcase for all actors envolved. What a splendiferous way to say goodbye to Powell and hello to Lemon - Fonda and Cagney don't hurt either.

ESSENTIAL MOVIE!!! Henry Fonda finally returned to the silver screen after an eight year absence to star in Mister Roberts. The movie is an adaption of the Broadway play in which he portrayed the same role. Mister Roberts takes place in the closing months of WWII but it's as much a comedy as it is a drama. John Ford directed some of the film & was replaced by Mervyn LeRoy who finished it.
Lt. Doug Roberts (Henry Fonda) is the chief cargo officer of the Reluctant, a supply ship in the U.S. navy, a true derelict of a ship if there ever was one. He's anxious to get transferred to another ship so that he can get combat duty. All of his requests for transfer are denied by the Captain (James Cagney) because he views it as an insult to his less than illustrious record. Cagney is absolutely superb in his role. The entire crew despises the Captain while they adore Mr. Roberts. Mr. Roberts is constantly looking out for the crew which causes the Captain to countermand every order or allowance given by Mr. Roberts.
Ensign Frank Pulver (Jack Lemmon in an Oscar winning role for Best Supporting Actor) almost steals the movie. He's served on the Reluctant for over a year & has never come face to face with the Captain. He's the laundary officer & he's done his best to avoid any & all duties & especially not ever being seen by the Captain. When they finally meet the Captain asks him who he is & what he does. Pulver tells him & the Captain can ... Read More
