“The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial”, interview with producer Annabelle Dunne

Interview during the 80th edition of Venice International Film Festival with Annabelle Dunne, producer of the film out of competition “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial”, directed by late William Friedkin. The movie is based on the play by Herman Wouk, that led to a classical film in 1954 starred by Humphrey Bogart.

During the conversation, the producer remembers her work with Mr. Friedkin (famous by “The exorcist” or “French connection“), how he built up this production after re-discovering the play. She tells us his method of shooting only one take with the actors and how he told them to stay off the book with their lines. The director passed away last August.

“The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial” depicts a military trial against an officer that forced the captain of his ship to step down in the middle of a cyclone. Kiefer Sutherland, Jack Lacy and Lance Reddick are some of the stars in the movie, that revolves around the trial room and will be available in Showtime and Paramount+.
