I have a different take than NipkowDisc.. Although I've never seen it (or later versions), I can imagine the original 1948 play had to have been much better than the subsequent film. The film has the feel of a staged play setting - mostly the onboard ship scenes. I, too, enjoyed James Cagney's performance - he still had "it". Unfortunately, William Powell's performance let me down. A favorite actor in his final film just going with the flow. Henry Fonda performed as expected, with a nice send-off preceeded by the closed-door/"horn"-being-left-on-in-Cagney's-office scene.. the crew discovering Mr. Roberts' personal sacrifice for them <sniff!> Jack Lemmon as comic relief - great closing sequence. As much as I would like to like this even more, I would choose The Caine Mutiny if ever these two aired simultaneously. Maybe if June Allyson.. NO! no.. Forget that one..

If this keeps up, we'll have to name a computer virus after him.

A really good soap

The answer to this one will be three film titles in a form similar to the answer one might give in the game CLUE - e.g. , Colonel Mustard in the conservatory with the lead pipe.

About ten years ago, in the Tampa Bay regions, we had our own little drought going on. Many lakes were 4 or more feet below normal levels. Boats tied to docks were sitting on bottom while tethered to dock pillars 6 feet higher. Retention ponds were bone dry; full of weeds. It was several years before enough rainfall returned levels to a more useable volume. We've still remained in an ongoing dry spell of sorts. Even surrounded by water on two sides, rainfall has been below desired levels. Heavy rains will saturate the ground, filling retention ponds to overflowing, but percolation occurs quickly lowering levels once again. I recall some years back, around 1999 I believe, a friend living in southern Texas showed me some pics of a large lake which had receded nearly two miles from the developed shoreline. Nothing but a dried up mud field with stark visions of old, empty boat docks dotting the shorelines. Even when hurricanes come through Florida one after the other, the benefits of massive rainfalls from these are short lived.

I do this with sub-titled films. Think I'll give this one a shot next time around. Thanks!

I used that as a bit of trivia in the Games Forum a couple years ago. Someone actually chided me, mentioning how crude I was to have done so (mentioning the first toilet flush in film). Obviously, they had never seen Psycho (..someone here who hasn't seen Psycho..? ) and didn't realize the toilet contained no waste, only torn paper.

That does help narrow it down.. There's Caged (1950).. http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/27277/Caged/ and Women's Prison (1955).. http://www.tcm.com/tcmdb/title/15881/Women-s-Prison/

I'm behind ya 100% on this, Fred. Well.. maybe 98%..Bernard Herrmann's my favorite movie music guy.

Somebody kidnapped the OP!

Well at the time, (mumblemumble) years ago, I might have gone with the ol' Clavo Ahumado (ahh yesss.. the old clAvoww ahmooNAdoww) subbing mezcal for Scotch.

This may seem petty, but it's that.. that.. that ZITHER music which prevents me from sitting through this film from start to finish. I've tried dozens of times - I just can't take that instrument for more than 15-20 seconds. I like the movie underneath this stuff.. but I can't do it.. no sir.

Nostradamus foresaw this many, many years ago - that's why he invented divisional math <wha..?> .. Yes. I know.. Just divide the number of times you have seen The Third Man (or North By Nortwest) by 4. Then, divide that result by 4... and so on and so on.. until you get back down to a single digit number. Now you're ready to begin viewing these classics aaalll over again. Ok.. Next problem..?

That, and 6 or so Piña coladas Was that you doin' Robert Hayes' stunt work in Airplane!
