Not too shallow, not too deep

Rating: 8/10 (20 December 2013)

*Spoiler alert*
Not ending the film with the trial where Capt. Queegs turns out to be not sane, was brilliant. The lawyer stated that even while he won the case, he questions what would have happened if the officers had been totally loyal to Queeg. In that case it might have been possible to advise him and he would probably have listened.
Two cons: - the love story doesn't add anything at all and is a waste of film; - although great special effects for a 1954 film, during the typhoon it obviously shows that the ship was a model.
8 stars for this iconic movie which got Michael Caine (Maurice Micklewhite in real life) his stage name.
