Morituri
Release Date: August 25, 1965 (Worldwide)
Directed by: Bernhard Wicki
Cast: Marlon Brando, Yul Brynner, Janet Margolin, Trevor Howard.
Box office: USD 3 million
Music composed by: Jerry Goldsmith
DVD Release: May 25, 2004

Japan, 1942. Mueller (Yul Brynner), a captain of the Nazi navy, is annoyed at being forced to accept a crew composed partly of criminals. Meanwhile the mission is urgent, as part of the shipment is seven thousand tons of pure rubber, which will fit German troops in Europe. Robert Crain (Marlon Brando), a German deserter living in India, is blackmailed by Statter (Trevor Howard), a Colonel of the English Intelligence Service, who wants Crain to board this same ship by posing as a Gestapo SS, for this shipment is also important to the Allies. Crain's function is to deactivate all explosives, which will cause the ship to sink when the captain senses that his cargo will be captured by the enemy.

Curiosities:
This movie was bombed at the box office after the initial release. It is believed that the title of the film has not been understood by the public. As such, when reissued, the film was renamed as "Saboteur: Code Name Morituri".

The role of Brando was originally offered to Charlton Heston.

When movies were about acting and stories, not explosions and gunfire...

Trying to make sense of the senselessness of war is almost impossible. This movie, with its great actors, makes a very laudable attempt. Thanks for uploading.

Outstanding movie that I wasn't aware of. Brando not mumbling as much as he usually did, and Brynner expressing some his quiet rage. Top notch deep focus camera work in B & W even!

Just a quickie. I've done helicopter shots they are bloody difficult. Now we have drones. Look at some of those shots in this film and they are amazing, with dialogue as well.. Hats off to operator and pilot.

Has taken me 74 years to get to see this great movie. OK a bit dated and melodramatic in parts, but still wonderful performances by Brando and Brynner. Thank you.

Just cruising You Tube watching a minute or two here and there. Then suddenly there it was! My entertainment for the evening. Morituri I've never seen this movie but recognize many faces that have disappeared from the silver screen over the years. I'm glad that I stopped here.

I was not expecting to see Yul Brynner's character to be such a decent man... remarkably refreshing, given the frame of the captain's position and his loyalty to the Reich. It is a good thing, seeing that humanity can be applied, even in the darkest of days.

Brando reprises the accent he used in "The Young Lions". He and Brenner play off each other well.

Pleasantly surprised to find this on YouTube. Amazon would be selling or renting it. This movie could have been made today. Is the good news. The bad news? Seems the human race will never learn. Give us a way to feel superior to somebody, anybody, and we’ll take it - no matter who we have to shoot.

I don't see the why Brando was considered great. His accent in this movie wanders all over the place lol.
