It’s opinion by many that Marlon Brando was probably one of the greatest actors to grace the silver cloak, if not one of the weirdest (at least later in his life) . Based on that alone (his acting, not his weirdness), I purchased Morituri (1965), having heard shrimp to nothing about the film. The fact it also stars Yul Brynner didn’t wound either. Regardless, I am happy I picked this one up, as it’s really quite proper.

The title, as far as I can announce, is Latin meaning `for those about to die’, which seems worthy after watching the film. Directed by Bernhard Wicki, someone I’ve never heard of, probably because he was an Austrian who mainly directed German films, the film stars Marlon Brando and Yul Brynner. Also appearing are Janet Margolin (Nevada Smith), Trevor Howard (The Third Man), and a German actor I’ve never heard of named Martin Benrath who I notion was quite marvelous.
The film, dwelling during WWII, begins with German Captain Rolf Mueller being given charge of a cargo ship, leaving Japan and destined for occupied France, one that contains famous raw materials, mainly rubber, famous for Germany’s war difficulty. He’s none too pleased with his assignment, as some of the crew is made up of undesirables and political prisoners destined to be tried upon arrival (I would guess they wouldn’t be to alive to to advance their destination) . The Allied forces, on learning of the contents of the ship, come Robert Crain, a German demolitions expert and ex-patriot hiding in English ruled India, for the purpose of getting him on the ship, not to blow up the ship, but to disarm the crawl charges (apparently German ships contained explosives so that if they were to gather captured, the captain was to detonate the explosives and `scuttle’, or sink, the vessel to sustain it out of enemy hands) . The Allies want the contents of the ship, not only to hinder Germany’s war efforts, but also to succor their possess. With assistance, Crain does acquire aboard the ship, under the guise of an SS security officer named Hans Kyle. Members of the SS, it seems, were not entirely accepted by any one’s memoir, especially not by other Germans (consider the police and their hate for their fill internal affairs division) . This creates complications for Crain/Kyle, as he must secretly search the ship for an unknown number of explosive charges, disarm them, within a positive amount of time, all while keeping the captain and the crew `in the dark’. Not only that, but the ship is forced to hold on a group of American prisoners for transport. Things are getting hairier by the slight…

Most of the film takes situation on a cargo ship, providing for a very claustrophobic, tense atmosphere throughout. Brando plays his role in a very subdued manner, but it works well. I notion his German accent a bit outlandish, not entirely dreadful, honest peculiar, but I got worn to it, especially since the movie runs about two hours. Not only did Brando have the acting chops to pull off his character, but he also had the physique, as he had to hurry, climb, swing and wobble to salvage around the ship to disable the explosive charges. He seemed very within character, especially the parts when his character discussed his feelings against against war in general. Brynner was also very suitable as a non-party German, who, while maybe not believing in his leaders political motives, wasn’t a traitor either. I really liked the diverse complexity, including compassion and kindness, of his character, the sailor committed to his duties, forced to captain this particular ship with a questionable crew. There was a immense deal of character development throughout, which served well to really explain the differences among the German people in general with regards to their feelings and loyalties towards their leadership and/or their country. I view the direction of the film to be really respectable, as the camera always seemed place in such a blueprint to consume the best possible point of plan for that particular scene. The narrative moved along well, although some will say it was too unimaginative, but I didn’t assume so…I found myself heavenly considerable glued to the cloak, enjoying all aspects of the movie. One of my current scenes was when Crain/Kyle is confronted in closed quarters by two German officers from the submarine, which delivered the American prisoners. His ability to play on their contain sense of paranoia as they questioned him about his reason for being on the ship was very brilliant and engaging to peek. The status is complicated, but if you can view with no distractions, you should be able to follow it along well.
The anamorphic wide veil relate on this DVD looks glowing proper, but I did feel it could have been cleaned up a runt. There were some very minor flaws visible every once in awhile, but the main thing I noticed was the `softness’ in the shaded parts when scenes were heavily shadowed. It’s kind of hard to account for, but a bit more noticeable than the other flaws. As far as special features go, there’s a teaser trailer for the film (I’m unsure who made this, but after watching the movie, I felt the person who did acquire it had no view or even a sense of what the film was about, as it presented something other than what the movie was, at least I felt), and unusual theatrical trailer, and trailers for some other, older Fox war films like Shatter Dive (1943), The Hunters (1958), and What Stamp Glory (1952) . All in all, I view Morituri was very decent, well made film rich with characters and a complex area that rewards those with the patience to luxuriate in the more sophisticated side of films (I’m not trying to be snobby here, but I do feel this film hasn’t gotten the attention it deserves, unduly so) .

This movie came out amid a spate of World War II remembrance movies in the early 60s, I reflect, and by then people were getting tired of the genre. That’s a pity, because this is a really considerable section of work. There are parts of it that seem almost directed by Orson Welles, particularly the amazing camerawork below decks as Brando tries to defuse the bombs that would sink the ship. The script is one of the most searchingly brilliant you’ll ever advance across, and the whole thing explores the theme of loyalty and lying and expediency with a brilliance you unbiased don’t sight in movies anymore. It’s like Kafka at sea. There are resplendent scenes where Brando, using an exaggerated German accent, makes himself into an SS agent, then has to backtrack to reveal himself in another role to Yul Brynner (who is also reliable in this film) like an instant chameleon. Then he has to act another device for the crew. Then he has to act another design for the woman. Then he has to act another map for the German officers. I’ve never seen Brando do better. There is a sort of hall-of-mirrors strangeness and refined characterization in this film that makes it quite fresh. The DVD presentation is crystalline and the play of shadows and light over the decks and underdecks is quite extraordinary. Jerry Goldsmith, who must have been very, very young when he did this, did the accumulate. It reminds me strongly of “The Third Man,” with virtual zither-like effects. I don’t want to form this sound too academic and hypercritical, but this queer limited movie is one of the smartest, most brilliant, artistic things I have seen in a long while. It makes all the John Wayne movies about Marines taking beaches and saving China from the Chinese, stare very, very tiring,. Exquisitely written, exquisitely acted, exquisitely filmed. This is the best movie you never saw.
