Maybe Bogart’s greatest acting job. It’s one thing to play the stereotypical good guy all the time. A real good actor can play a variety of characters and make them believable. I read the book and saw the movie. Bogart was exceptional as Queeg. In fact the job portraying a person like Queeg, who neither a villain nor a hero, has to be one of the toughest acting jobs.

Lawrence Olivier has that kind of depth and reach. I cannot think of a modern actor who isn’t simply playing themselves playing someone else.
