Billy Budd (1955): A Deadly Tale of Honor | William Shatner Film

#BillyBudd #WilliamShatner #ClassicDrama #HonorAndTragedy Set sail into a tragic sea of moral conflict and doomed innocence in the 1955 “Billy Budd” teleplay, starring a young William Shatner. Onboard the warship HMS Indomitable, tensions swirl as a gifted sailor is caught in a vortex of duty, jealousy, and fate — a single strike will cost him everything. When Billy Budd, pure of heart and warm of spirit, becomes the target of Claggart’s dark envy, his stuttered defense is silenced. In a moment of desperation, he retaliates — and kills. Captain Vere, torn between justice and compassion, must obey the rigid law of the sea. His sentence: death by hanging at dawn. Amid mutiny whispers and the crash of war, Billy Budd becomes a haunting portrait of innocence betrayed, law enforced, and sacrifice eternal. This rare 1955 adaptation is part of the anthology General Motors Theatre, with Basil Rathbone as Vere and Douglas Campbell in the cast.
