Wissenswertes
Keith Carradine was offered the role of Queeg, and it would have reunited him with director Robert Altman for the first time since Nashville (1975). Carradine turned it down due to a conflict with another movie starting Glenn Close. Carradine later regretted it, and Altman never reached out to him again for another role.

Should have been theatrically released. A great film.

Good rendition of classic, around the best stage-to-screen adaptation I have seen, not stilted and free to zoom, move the camera, etc. Worked well.

Writing is of course awesome. Most of the cast is entirely believable. And here's where it may be superior to the 1954 film. The court is really believable, in every way. In the original film they were played-too-straight as The Man.

But the defense. Eric Bogosian was outstanding. One of his best roles, and I mean that. Disappeared into it in ways I do not normally see. I thought I loved José Ferrer's final party speech, but Bogosian's - and the directing, having much of it drowned out by the ongoing partiers, then confused by the end - version is truly great.

Blasphemy I know, but dunno if I miss Bogart over Brad Davis as Lt Cdr Queeg. His final courtroom performance was spot on, and played against the script and especially the judges perfectly.

However, Kevin J. O'Connor was merely fine as the truly guilty one, whereas Fred MacMurray was delightfully charming-evil, in ways that I don't know anyone could replicate.
