On an insignificant ship in the US Pacific Fleet, a captain is removed from his command by his Executive Officer in an act of mutiny. However, the captain was teetering on the insane and the welfare of his crew were threatened by his sheer nuttyness. The mutineers are duly put on trial back on dry land, but was this a criminal act, or an act of courage to save a ship and its crew from destruction at the hands of its captain?

The Caine Mutiny is a remarkably strong film that's not lacking in any single area. Tremendous acting, a gripping story, and steady direction that accentuates the former two elements make the movie a wartime classic and one of the finest pictures to ever explore the dynamics of human interaction and the effects of pressure and uncertainty through the chain of command and, indeed, within any sort of multi-participant structure. It's one of the must-see films of the 1950s -- or any era for that matter -- and hasn't lost a beat even in today's more chaotic, faster-paced world of cinema. Sony's Blu-ray release of The Cain Mutiny deserves a more thorough supplemental section (though what's included is of the highest quality). Still, the technical specs are up to par and the price is right. Highly recommended.

Disregard both of the comments posted below. The high-definition transfer is very good, up to the standards set by Sony for catalog releases. It is fairly obvious that the other posters do not know or understand how 3-strip Technicolor should and does look. Buy with confidence. Pro-B

WOW, what can I say. I expected a HELL of a lot better than this, especially from Sony. I've only got about a quarter of the way through and I'm like, "am I watching the upconverted DVD", cause this stinks. The movie was never pretty to begin with, but this is a minor upgrade from the DVD.
