Mister Roberts features a star-studded cast of actors while the Best Picture nominee beautifully translates from the stage to the screen.

Mister Roberts offers a marvelous mix of comedy and drama, expertly pulled off by its four name actors.

The locker-room lustiness of the novel and the stage production has been toned down a bit, as you might expect, and one or two comic highlights are weakened by overemphasis, but on the whole this is a vastly enjoyable show.

Still an expert mix of sentiment, comedy, patriotism and anarchy.

Henry Fonda stars, as brilliant as ever.
