Ensign Pulver

Directed by Joshua Logan

Written by Thomas Heggen, Peter S. Feibleman, Joshua Logan, Joshua Logan, Thomas Heggen

1945, on an old cargo ship somewhere deep in the Pacific ocean: Captain Morton strives to become commander, so he demands the maximum quality of work from his crew, without granting them any freedom or favors - ignoring that they're thousand of miles away from the front. In one word: he drives his crew crazy. They are near mutiny, but no-one dares to do the first step. Until Ensign Pulver plays a prank on the captain that triggers fatal consequences...
