Gilbert Roland, Richard Egan, Lori Nelson and Jane Russell in "Under- water." Right: Van Johnson and Fred M a c- M array in "The Caine Mutiny.” Underwater was a film which was largely made beneath the sea, and as it told a tale of a quest for lost treasure, gave us some excellent submarine shots. Who can forget The Caine Mutiny, adapted from the best-selhng novel ? It was a story of the war at sea and the effect it had on the captain of a ship)—brilliantly played by Humphrey Bogart—and his crew. When Lieutenant Steve Maryk (Van Johnson playing a dramatic role) took on himself the right to save the ship by assuming his captain's duties, the captain court-martialled him and Jc^ Ferrer played the part of the defending counsel who understood the cause of the mutiny and hated himself Jose Ferrer ruthlessly questions Humphrey Bogart while Van Johnson watches in " The Caine Mutiny.” for defending the man accused. Fred MacMurray gave an excellent p)ortrayal as the intellectual who hated the navy in general and his captain in particular and stirred up the crew mutiny. It was a briUiant film with wonderful storm scenes in it. Passage Home told of a voyage home to England from the South American p>ort of VUamonte in 1931. It ^w^s the tense drama of a hard-driving sea captain who won success but few friends in his job. It dealt with a thirty- day voyage in which Diane Cilento played the part of the only girl suddenly and unexp>ectedly thrust into the centre of conflict among hardened sailors, who became the cause of a fierce conflict between the captain, who wanted to marry her for companionship without love, and his second mate, who fell in love with her. This theme was played out against a background of hostiUty from the crew, culminating in a sudden storm at sea which brought out the best in the captain and won the way through. Peter Finch curtly dismisses Hugh Griffith, the ChieJ Officer, while A nthony Steel stands and watches in " Passage Home.” While Diane Cilento listens, Peter Finch hears Geoffrey Keen, the crew’s spokesman, report the complaints, while Cyril Cusack watches his reactions in " Passage Home.”
