The 1935 film adaptation of the events that occurred aboard the Bounty.It is considered the best filmed versions.Captain Bligh (Charles Laughton) is commanding the HMS Bounty on a perilous journey to Tahiti.To call Bligh a shipboard dictator would be an understatement.
For all his sadistic behavior he is an able seaman and first officer Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable) defends him.Mutiny on the Bounty is based on real events that were novelized by Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall.Charles Laughton scored twice in 1935, once with Les Miserables and with his portrayal of Captain Bligh.Gable is grand as well as the leader.Both men, as well as Franchot Tone, would get nominated for their acting yet they wouldn’t win.The only time that three actors from a single film would get nominated.In fact, the film was known for a time as the only picture to win best picture.The film is sweeping and epic as movies should be perhaps.
