Product Description
Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) (DVD) Academy Award winner Clark Gable stars as the first mate who leads his ship's exploited and abused crew in the Mutiny on the Bounty.The South Pacific, 1789. On the far side of the Earth from their home inEngland, the crew of the H.M.S. Bounty suffers under the sadisticleadership of its captain, William Bligh (Academy Award winner CharlesLaughton). Months from its return to port, the ship's first mate,Fletcher Christian (Gable), realizes that many of the crewmembers willnot survive the voyage unless he takes control of the ship. But hisdecision to mutiny means that none of the crew can ever return home inthis enduring, true adventure.

The highlight of Mutiny on the Bounty is undoubtedly Charles Laughton's bracingly evil performance as Captain Bligh, a man so mean that he insists on having a dead sailor flogged. Bligh pushes his men beyond physical endurance, slashes their rations for his own profit, and drastically cuts down their frolicking time with scantily clad Tahitians. Finally, the moment everyone has been waiting for arrives: first mate Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable) hits his limit and all hell breaks loose. Gable holds doggedly onto his American accent through the entire movie, but in a way it makes Christian come off as a Regular Guy in opposition to Bligh's institutionalized cruelty. Once you get past the hurdle of his diphthongs, Gable makes an excellent Fletcher Christian--strong, fair, and noble, and he effectively conveys the struggle of a man who loathes the idea of mutiny but can't stand see his men mistreated. And Charles Laughton is just superb. His Bligh is thoroughly appalling, yes, but it's far from a one-note performance--when he is cast adrift on the open sea in a lifeboat and tries to make an impossible journey to land, you can't help but root for him. Mutiny on the Bounty won the 1935 Academy Award for Best Picture and picked up a Leading Actor nomination for each of its male leads. Check it out or be tied to the mizzenmast. --Ali Davis

Clark Gable as Fletcher Christian, Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh! Must have in my collection.
Extras. And Clark Gable
Compared to more recent films, including two remakes of Mutiny on the Bounty, the 1935 version might seem a bit stagey and confined, but consider the facts: it was made in the first decade of the sound era, depended heavily on primitive rear-projection effects for dramatic moments at sea, was subject to a production code so restrictive that it required women's navels to be either covered with clothing or obliterated with makeup, and did not have the benefit of color photography to emphasize the exotic nature of its location footage. The consequent "defects" were not apparent to audiences of 1935, because MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY was state of the art at the time, a thrilling adventure story of unprecedented on-location scope, and featuring some of the most respected actors of the day. Clark Gable had won the Best Actor Oscar in 1934 for It Happened One Night, while Charles Laughton had won in 1933 for The Private Life of Henry VIII, the first-ever win for a non-American. In BOUNTY, Gable was his usual affable and believable self and made a sympathetic Fletcher Christian, Tone was a fresh and eager Midshipman, but it was Laughton who stole the show as the villainous Captain Bligh.
The real Captain Bligh was not the madman depicted in the movies, and went on to a distinguished career in the Royal Navy after the mutiny, a career marked by promotion all the way up to Admiral. But he was an especially stern taskmaster, and not a favorite with his subordinates, traits magnified in the screen portrayals of Bligh. Despite vastly improved production values in the later versions of MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY, it is Laughton's performance and image that are best remembered as the definitive face of the tyrant. In one of the fact-based incidents in the film, following the mutiny Bligh commands a small open boat with 18 loyal crewmen, in an epic journey of nearly 4,000 miles across the Pacific to safety in Timor.
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY is well worth a look, both as an interesting story and as a significant bit of Hollywood history. Who knows, you might even be able get into the spirit of its time and recapture some of the epic feel that enthralled audiences when the film was new.
Although this is probably the least historically accurate of the four popular versions of the H.M.S. Bounty story, it is surely the most entertaining. Characters tend to be one-dimensional. As scripted, Laughton's Lt. Bligh is portrayed as a tireless tyrant and Gable's Spencer Christian is the noble savior from their sufferings of his crewmates. No shades of gray here: it's snow white vs. coal black.
A 1984 remake, THE BOUNTY (with Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins) may come closest to the truth. In it, Bligh has martinet tendencies but also shows reasonableness and competence, while Christian's motives for the mutiny are far more suspect and he's not exactly a superb leader. Subsequent British courts martial proceedings are also included. In this older film, once Pitcairn's Island is reached and the Bounty scuttled, the story ends with a brief scroll's vague epilogue on the mutineers' fate.
Again the bottom line is, thanks to a remarkable cast and superior cinematography and direction (from Frank Lloyd) this high seas treason story is an eminently watchable work of fiction and therefore gets a highest recommendation. (Note: can you spot Jimmy Cagney's and David Nivens' cameos?)

(7.9) Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) - Charles Laughton/Clark Gable/Franchot Tone/Herbert Mundin/Eddie Quillan/Dudley Digges/Donald Crisp/Spring Byington/Movita/Mamo Clark (uncredited: James Cagney/Dick Haymes/David Nivens/Vivien Oakland/Robert Livingston/Ray 'Crash' Corrigan/Lionel Belmore)
The opening scene where Gable and a motley crew set out to impress sailors for the voyage grabbed their attention and the understanding of their rights as protected by our laws grew. There were so many little life lessons from this one movie which enhanced their understanding as we read the novel. My 7th graders loved it, as did my co-workers, who had not seen this version. The later Marlon Brando version, in color, had too many scenes that would not have been appropriate for minors.
