Book Description

April 20, 1954
The novel that inspired the now-classic film The Caine Mutiny and the hit Broadway play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.

Herman Wouk's boldly dramatic, brilliantly entertaining novel of life—and mutiny—on a Navy warship in the Pacific theater was immediately embraced, upon its original publication in 1951, as one of the first serious works of American fiction to grapple with the moral complexities and the human consequences of World War II. In the intervening half century, The Caine Mutiny has become a perennial favorite of readers young and old, has sold millions of copies throughout the world, and has achieved the status of a modern classic.

5.0 out of 5 stars Punchier than the book or the movie, July 23, 2010
By 
This review is from: The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial: A Drama In Two Acts (Paperback)
As an ardent fan of books, theatre and movies it never ceases to amaze me how the exact same story can play out so differently in each of these media.

Take Phantom of the Opera for example. As a book, a play and a movie, there's something about the Phantom story that powerfully endures (albeit in different ways) in each of the media.

Yet there are some stories uniquely known for their appearance in book form, as a stage play or alternatively as a movie.

Though Caine Mutiny rightly won Wouk a Pulitzer, history nonetheless still seems to record the movie (starring a more mature and gutsy Humphrey Bogart in the title role) as the definitive telling of this story.

For those who've had the pleasure of either the Pulitzer prize winning book or the equally estimable movie, I would heartily recommend this play...also written by Wouk.

As stage plays necessarily must, it reduces the story to its dramatic bare bones and I think in so doing elevates the theatrical version of this story over its cinematic and novelistic brethren.

If nothing else the play is an interesting precis on just what Wouk considered to be indispensible in this story.

I highly recommend it, in fact even over both the book and movie, which in this case is really saying something.
