Review: ‘Caine Mutiny Court-Martial’ Shows How Not to Make an Old Story New

It’s never proper to speak ill of the dead, especially when in regard to the work of two great artists’ swan song, but director, William Friedkin’s attempt to bring new life to Herman Wouk’s 1953 play The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial was an improper act of its own.
