@Inspadave I second your comments on Ferrer....I believe he is right up there with Henry Fonda and Robert Duvall as a great american actor.....It's surprising he wasn't a bigger star than he was.....
-
@Inspadave cool....
-
@skypack Actually Queeg had not had a long career in the Navy. He was a 1936 graduate of Annapolis.
-
@ShareTheMike My intention was to sat that Bogart was way older than how the character was written . . .in the book. It was in no way a comment on his performance which, in my opinion, was outstanding but not quite as good as Jose Ferrer.
-
@Inspadave A younger actor would have seemed crazy, and all our sympathy would have been with the mutineers.....The older Bogart seems burnt out with maybe a little "post traumatic stress" mixed in ( they would have called it nerves or 'shell shocked' back then)....It divides our compassion between characters quite evenly....
-
@Inspadave It works better with an older actor........
-
Bogart was way too old to play Queeg. He was 55 when the film was made. The character of Queeg was a 1936 graduate of Annapolis. The mutiny took place in '44 so that would have made Queeg 30 years old.
-
Fred MacMurray should get some credit here--he was a great slim ball bad guy...
-
i can't recall how old Quegg was in the book but Bogart's age I think worked well here--it emphasized that Queeq had been passed up over and over again--for obvious reasons we learn.
-
@loufalce ...Likely he was, but he always had a bad reputation. The Hopkins-Gibson version is probably the most accurate,but my favorite version is the Gable-Laughton version. Was Bligh really this mean? I wouldn`t want to be on the HMS Bounty!

@JuanMacready I disagree. Remember, Queeg is a flawed man which might account for his slower rise in rank, and therefore his command of a lowly DMS. However, if you want to read a fantastic book, get "Halsey's Typhoon" by Drury & Clavin. It's a true account of the actual typoon the "Caine" was in. Also, in it you will meet the real Captain Queeg, that is the naval officer on whom the character was based.
