Movie night: Morituri
I'll imitate my friend Marilyn and report on a video we watched: Morituri, with Marlon Brando and Yul Brynner, a completely forgotten war thriller in which Brando plays a sort of double agent, a pacifist masquerading as an SS officer aboard a cargo ship, with Yul Brynner as the sullen "good German" captain who has no use for the Nazi political officer on board. It's long and convoluted, but the direction has moments of real brilliance, and the performances are terrific.
