Humphrey Bogart als Captain Queeg ist der Typ Vorgesetzte, bei denen alle im Raum merken, dass mit dem etwas nicht stimmt – nur keine:r wagt es auszusprechen. Er verliert sich in Nebensächlichkeiten, sieht Verräter überall und verlangt vor allem eines: Loyalität! Mir scheint, je länger dieser Film existiert, desto unangenehm aktueller wird er wieder mal. Und das nach 72 Jahren! Wer heute amerikanische Nachrichten verfolgt, braucht nicht lange, um Parallelen zu entdecken. (3Sat, Wh.)

War and Remembrance

I’m not well versed in yiddish but aparently the name “Airman” translates to a yiddish word that means “To disregard the practical matters of life”

“Marjorie Morningstar” (1958) is based on the 1955 novel of the same name by Herman Wouk, who’s mostly remembered for his historical fiction. Natalie Wood was a huge fan of it. You can read it for free here (https://archive.org/details/marjoriemornings0000unse_s1s5/page/n5/mode/2up)
