MISTER ROBERTS, 1955, ANOTHER ONE FOR YOUR MOVIE BUCKET LIST

Our popular series continues.......Got to watch--once again--the fabulous Mister Roberts, the 1955 American comedy-drama film directed by John Ford and Mervyn LeRoy. (CLICK ON THE IMAGE.)

It features an all-star cast including Henry Fonda as Mister Roberts, James Cagney as Captain Morton, William Powell (in his final film appearance) as Doc, and Jack Lemmon as Ensign Pulver. Based on the 1946 novel and 1948 Broadway play, the film was nominated for three Academy Awards, including Best Picture, Best Sound, and Best Supporting Actor, with Lemmon winning the latter.  All the performances are excellent! 

The film is available on Amazon.  AND NOW-----
