synopsis

This much-loved comedy/ drama is unusual in that it had two directors. Veteran Mervyn Le Roy ('Quo Vadis') replaced John Ford during the production. 'Mister Roberts' was nominated for Best Picture and Jack Lemon won his first Academy Award as Best Supporting Actor. The marvelous cast includes Henry Fonda as a restless officer on a World War II cargo ship who yearns for action, James Cagney plays his irascible and eccentric captain.
