LAKEPORT, Calif. – The 1955 WWII comedy-drama, “Mr. Roberts,” screens at the Soper Reese Theatre on Tuesday, Nov. 11, with show times at 1 and 6 p.m.

Masterfully adapted from a Broadway hit, the film stars James Cagney as the cargo ship’s despotic captain and Henry Fonda as his reluctant lieutenant, a role Fonda originated in the play. 

A young Jack Lemmon won an Oscar for best supporting actor in his role of idler Ensign Pulver. 

William Powell plays the ship’s doctor, his last on-screen role.

Entry to the show is by donation.
