Humphrey Bogart steals the movie with his final courtroom scene as he falls apart. I have always felt that the reactions by the actors in the scene were a result of actually watching Bogart's performance. It's similar to how I felt Kevin Bacon's reaction was to Jack Nicholson as he finished his testimony in "A Few Good Men." In both cases, I am sure I was looking at sheer admiration in the fellow cast members toward these two cinematic giants. The Caine Mutiny novel was more about Willie's coming-of-age. So, the events that led up to the mutiny and the court martial were really the backdrop for the evolution of the character. The love interest in the movie was somewhat gratuitous, even if more true to the book. The book handled this matter better than the movie because it was more germane to Wouk's objective.
