Herman Melville's short novel Billy Budd is adapted for the screen, distinguished by Robert Krasker's expressive black-and-white cinematography and Peter Ustinov's crisp direction. Terence Stamp is Billy Budd, a seaman forced to serve in the British Navy during the war between England and France in 1797. Billy looks upon all men as inherently good and, although his crewmates are initially skeptical about this sailor who appears too good to be true, he proves his mettle by his skills as a sailor and gains the respect of the crew -- all except for the ship's reviled master-at-arms John Claggert (Robert Ryan), who attempts to poison Billy's reputation by accusing him of instigating a mutiny. When the ship's captain, Edward Vere (Peter Ustinov), questions Billy about the charges, Billy reacts by striking Claggert, who falls over and dies from a blow on the head. A court-martial is called and Vere has to determine whether Billy should be hanged or acquitted. Paul Brenner, Rovi

Melville had another great sea tale interwoven with morality this time. Billy is depicted exquisitely in this movie and the character truly has you feeling the ending cannot be tragic. Captain Vere deserves a salute for performance as a conscientious man with an understanding of duty as well. Master-at-arms Claggert also irritates the audience enough to desire to strike him down as well. This movie is for everyone as its sincerity in dealing with man's emotions and perpetual action leave you on the edge of your favorite chair hoping the ending is not what you know it will be.
