Published by Boz Scaggs Music (GMR) administered by Concord Global Music (GMR) and Hudmar Publishing Co. Inc. c/o Spirit Four Music Crescendo,Well done with very good performances. Nice final film for Friedkin and Lance Reddick.

Note that this is unlike the 1954 original film with Humphrey Bogart which replayed the incidents on the Caine. This is the stage version of the original play where the majority of the action takes place in the courtroom. You only hear about what happened aboard ship.

The final speech my Barney Greenwald is one of the key parts of the movie. That seems a little dated now because this was not World War II but he makes his point. But he wasn't aboard the Caine when everything went down, either.

Nice ending. In the original there was a little more after the "toast." To end it where they did was nice touch by Friedkin.,
