Mutiny on the Bounty 1935
Mutiny on the Bounty ★★★★ 1935
Compelling adaptation of the true story of sadistic Captain Bligh, Fletcher Christian and their turbulent journey aboard the HMS Bounty and the subsequent mutiny in 1788. No gray here: Laughton's Bligh is truly a despicable character and extremely memorable in this MGM extravaganza. Remade twice, in 1962 and again in 1984 as “The Bounty.” Much, much better than the 1962 remake. 132m/B VHS, DVD . Clark Gable, Franchot Tone, Charles Laughton, Donald Crisp, Dudley Digges, Spring Byington, Henry Stephenson, Eddie Quillan, Herbert Mundin, Movita, Ian Wolfe; D: Frank Lloyd; W: Talbot Jennings, Jules Furthman, Carey Wilson; M: Herbert Stothart. Oscars ‘35: Picture; AFI ‘98: Top 100; N.Y. Film Critics ‘35: Actor (Laughton).
