Her Captain (James Cagney) is a tyrannic man and Mr. Roberts defends the crew from his outbursts. Mr. Roberts also wish to leave the "Reluctant" to join a battle ship and participate of the action of the war. When the ship is moored to a habour, Mr. Roberts promises a military liberty for the crew; however, the Captain call off the liberty to force Mr. Roberts to change his behavior, give up leaving "Reluctant" and support his decisions. When the crew returns from the liberty, they note that Mr. Roberts changed his behavior and they are apart Mr. Roberts. What will happen next?
"Mister Roberts" is a funny and sad film directed by John Ford and Mervyn LeRoy. The plot is highly entertaining, supported by great names of the cinema industry in the 50s and the conclusion is heartbreaking. My vote is seven.
Title (Brazil): "Mister Roberts"
