Happy birthday to Mr. Wouk.
The Caine Mutiny
I have met many slimy characters over the years like Lieutenant Thomas Keefer that Fred MacMurray played.
Keefer was a backstabbing weasel.
José Ferrer plays Greenwald, the defense counsel who acquits the others of mutiny.
Wiki
Greenwald turns to Keefer, denouncing him as the real “author” of the mutiny, who “hated the Navy” and manipulated the others while keeping his own hands officially clean. The lawyer exposes Keefer’s double-dealing to the other officers, throws a glassful of champagne in his face and tells Keefer that if he wishes to do anything about the drink in the face, the two could fight outside. Keefer does not respond to the challenge and the other officers depart, leaving him alone in the room.
