Mister Roberts (1955) - Ep 40

NOW HEAR THIS, NOW HEAR THIS… spooky season is now over… we’ve now sailed off in our rusty bucket in search of a new destination on which to drop anchor. This time (EPISODE 40!) returning to a breezy and sweet picture by the great John Ford, aka 1955's Mister Roberts starring Hank Fonda. Ford wasn't the only director due to production problems; however, he ended up crafting his Pacific-set perfection with Donovan's Reef a few years later, which we covered long ago on episode 14. Hold fast... and hear about the production problems and other interesting facts about the stage-play adaption, Chris' negativity, Kevin's "lowest" John Ford rating, and how Ensign is the best name you've ever heard, and more... only on this episode of The Searchers. Bottoms up, mate!
