REVIEWS:

"Since Henry Fonda already has earned his stripes as Mr. Roberts on stage,
it should be noted that he does not simply give the role a professional reading. It now appears as though he is Mr. Roberts. It evolves as a beautifully lean and sensitive characterization, full of dignity and power. .... To 'Mister Roberts' and all hands involved in one of the season's greatest pleasures: Well done!"

-- Excerpt from The New York Times; July 15, 1955
