Herman Wouk's Pulitzer Prize novel, The Caine Mutiny, has been made into a stirring film by Stanley Kramer.

Both Johnson and MacMurray are bound to win special accolades for their offbeat portrayals in the adaptation of the Herman Wouk novel.

I think the audience of millions created by the book will not be disappointed. Those who are innocent of the troubles aboard the Caine will find this version of them engrossing.

The Caine Mutiny is a finely rounded, compact piece of work, intelligently written, admirably acted and directed with the minimum of fuss.
