Ensign Pulver is a 1964 American film and a sequel to the 1955 film Mister Roberts. The movie stars Robert Walker Jr., Burl Ives, Walter Matthau and Tommy Sands and features Millie Perkins, Larry Hagman, Kay Medford, Peter Marshall, Jack Nicholson, Richard Gautier, George Lindsey, James Farentino, and James Coco.[2]
The film was directed and co-written by Joshua Logan, who had directed and co-written the Mister Roberts stage play on Broadway,[3] and also shot scenes for the 1955 film after director John Ford fell ill.
The story concerns the U.S.S. Reluctant, which is at anchor beside a tropical island. The ship's captain is as much of a "Captain Bligh" as ever. Several of the film's events – such as attacking the Captain while he is watching a film, and one the sailors trying to obtain compassionate leave to deal with a dying child – are taken from Thomas Heggen's original novel Mister Roberts. The characters of Pulver, Doc and several crewmen return from the first film, but played by different actors.
Ensign Pulver began production under the working title "Mr. Pulver and the Captain". Location scenes for the film were shot in Mexico City and Acapulco, Mexico.[4]
Actor Jack Nicholson took it upon himself to assist director Josh Logan with casting, becoming an informal "assistant producer."[3] Logan, who hoped that the film would repeat the success of Mister Roberts, recognized that it had fallen short of that mark, writing in his autobiography:
We thought we had everyone in the picture that anyone could ask for ... But we had left out the most important thing: the catalytic agent, Mister Roberts. And without him, the story falls into shreds. No one really cares about the others enough to create suspense as to the outcome. (Wikipedia)
Sinopsis
1945, Segunda Guerra Mundial. Morton, el capitán de un buque mercante norteamericano que navega por el Océano Pacífico, aspira a ser comandante, razón por la cual es muy exigente y severo con la tripulación. Pero los marineros están más que hartos y a punto de amotinarse. Secuela de la conocida "Escala en Hawai" (Mister Roberts, 1955), de John Ford y Mervin LeRoy. (FILMAFFINITY)
Alocada marina
Morton es un capitán de la Marina que lucha en la Segunda Guerra Mundial e intenta hacer méritos para ser inminentemente ascendido a comandante. Con la intención de ello, anima a su patrulla a realizar bien las cosas y ser los primeros en las misiones, pero tanta disciplina perturbará los ánimos de los soldados. Uno de ellos, el tímido Frank Pulver prefiere quedarse en el camarote admirando sus fotos de bellas mujeres.
Comedia naval con guerra de fondo y naufragio añadido dirigida por Joshua Logan (Picnic, Bus Stop). Burl Ives, el orondo patriarca de La gata sobre el tejado de zinc, interpreta al estricto capitán, y que Walter Matthau o Jack Nicholson se dejaron caer también en esta historia. (decine21)
One would hope that, as a sequel to Mister Roberts, Ensign Pulver might carry with it some of that film's wit, liveliness and appeal. Unfortunately this isn't the case -- and to make matters worse, Pulver can't even carry with it Roberts' cast. One doesn't expect Henry Fonda to appear in the sequel, of course, but surely Jack Lemmon should be involved, or at least James Cagney or William Powell? But the answer is no, no and no to these questions. Lemmon's absence is most sorely felt, for he made the part something truly special; Robert Walker Jr. gives it the old college try, but inspiration not competence is needed here. Burl Ives is a poor substitute for Cagney, and only Walter Matthau -- so different from Powell, but that may actually work to his favor -- manages to give a performance that is memorable. Casting would matter a little less if the screenplay were really good, but this one is a feeble mess of clichés and retreads, with little originality and no spark. (The same can be said for Joshua Logan's direction.) There is fun in spotting the likes of Jack Nicholson, James Coco and Larry Hagman in some small roles, but there's not really much here to entertain or even divert. ~ Craig Butler, Rovi
