The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial
Directed by William Friedkin
Produced by Loveless, Selsed House
A tense courtroom drama that interrogates duty, leadership, and moral ambiguity through the lens of a naval mutiny trial.
Barney Greenwald, a skeptical lawyer, reluctantly defends an officer of the navy who took control of the Caine from its captain, Lt. Philip Francis Queeg, while caught in a violent sea storm. As the court-martial proceeds, however, Greenwald increasingly questions if it was truly a mutiny or rather the courageous acts of a group of sailors who could not trust their unstable leader.
