Watch: Billy Budd 1962 123movies, Full Movie Online – H.M.S. Avenger is headed into battle against the French fleet during the Napoleonic Wars, and the dark shadow of two recent mutinies in the English fleet concern Captain Vere (Sir Peter Ustinov). He relies on his cruel and often sadistic Master-at-Arms John Claggert (Robert Ryan) to maintain what he believes to be tenuous order and discipline aboard the ship. When a new seaman, Billy Budd (Terence Stamp), is pressed into service from a passing merchantman, his innocent, happy-go-lucky attitude quickly endears him to his messmates as well as the ship’s officers. However, his charismatic naivete seems to bother Claggert, whose perverse depravity makes him resent Billy’s good-natured purity, especially after the teenager’s promotion to fore-top Captain. The mean-spirited Claggert unfairly plots to put him on report and ultimately perjures himself when he accuses Billy of conspiring to mutiny..
Plot: Billy is an innocent, naive seaman in the British Navy in 1797. When the ship’s sadistic master-at-arms is murdered, Billy is accused and tried.

Reviews:

One of the screen’s great classics
It took me a long time–decades, in fact–to warm to Herman Melville’s story “Billy Budd,” written in 1891. The writing is dense, the pacing unsatisfactory, the characters more symbols than human beings.

But the movie brilliantly overcomes all these difficulties. The casting is perfect. The then-unknown Terence Stamp seems to have been born for his role as Billy Budd. Nobody could play psychopathic villains like Robert Ryan, a vastly under-appreciated actor, and his portrayal of the villainous master-at-arms, Claggart, may be his finest performance. Melvyn Douglas, in his final role, gives great support as Billy’s mentor. Peter Ustinov, whom one might think too soft and distractable to be a British naval captain, turns out to be the ideal embodiment of Captain Vere, whose real attitude toward Billy’s “crime” is one of the great enigmas of the story.

You don’t need to know a thing about Melville to be thoroughly absorbed by this film. It raises basic questions about the conflict between morality and legality, and the resolution of the problem here, like the process itself, will stick with you for a very long time.
