Cain Mutiny Court-Marshall on Paramount + was a good military court drama

IDK if a thread was ever made of this but the was a really good update to the OG Cain Mutiny starring Bogey.
Kiefer Sutherland (our favorite Lt. Kendrick and Jack Bauer) stars as the Skipper LCDR Queeg testifying against his XO for mutiny.
The entire movie was a courtroom proceedings. No flashbacks. As a viewer you have to decide based on the testimony.
I'm a big Kiefer fan and he did a fine job. He's no Bogart but I thoroughly enjoyed the movie.
Just passing this along.

I really enjoyed it. Not going to spoil it too much, but the actor attorney in the final scene nailed it perfectly. I was so drawn in by it.

William Friedkin's final movie

Love the original film, would love to see the play performed. Sutherland's is a nice version.
I need to watch the 1988 TV movie. It's on Tubi for free.

The ending of Caine Mutiny between Jose Ferrer and Fred McMurry was totally awesome.

One of my favorite movie scenes ever.
It adds a great degree of depth and nuance to the movie. He basically undoes the entire plot by tearing apart the mutineers, their motives, and defending Queeg.

Claude Akins (Sheriff Lobo) was also in Caine Mutiny, although he was credited for his role of "Horrible" while Best's LTJG Jorgenson went uncredited.
That is a great, great film. Lee Marvin (Meatball) was just on the cusp of becoming a leading man. Robert Francis (Ensign Keith) was probably going to be a big star, but died in an airplane crash the next year.

Just watched the 1988 TV Movie version. It's directed by Robert Altman, so it's a cut above your usual 80's TV show. And since it's Altman, there's a lot of cross-talk and dialogue muffled by natural sound and military bands on parade, so using closed captioning is a benefit.
The good: Altman adds a ton of nuances, from Queeg being visibly distracted by the whispers and movements in the court as assistants get up and walk in about their business. He also gives his friend Michael Murphy more visibility as the judge, with his disdain for some of the expert witnesses and his doing more questioning of the attorneys and witnesses himself. He also sets the staging so that Queeg is overlooking the proceedings, an ominous figure in the background, out of earshot but visible. Bogosian and Daniels are outstanding, Brad Davis plays Queeg very broadly but it's an interesting take.
The bad: The killer final scene is way too Altman. Instead of a quiet gathering of friends, it's a loud party with people shouting over each other as the defense attorney makes his final damning accusations. The "author" friend/turncoat is played by a character actor who kind of fades into the wallpaper instead of being an integral part of the story.
A good watch. I'll watch it again someday.
ETA: Free on Tubi with minimal commercials

Watching (2023) now.
Pretty good for a one stage movie.
Acting is flawless.
RIP Lance Reddick.
Seems more a law school movie or other nerd doc than anything.
