Description
First officer Clark Gable and tyrannical captain Charles Laughton powerfully clash in this vigorous retelling of a true historic incident about a British ship commandeered from its brutal master. Franchot Tone also stars in 1935's Best Picture Academy Award(R) Choice.

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

 Mutiny on the Bounty is a hit., 2009-10-17
This movie was a delight to watch and will be a part of our permanent collection.
A Great Movie!, 2010-03-28
Without going into too much detail, this has always been a favorite of mine. The best way to watch this film is to pretend you've never seen this movie before and let the story unfold. That should be quite easy for anyone who has never seen this movie!
A Real Classic...and Fun to watch!, 2010-04-14
A real classic could sometime be somewhat boring to watch...in spite of being "interesting" in many ways. This academy award winner of best picture of 1935 is interesting for all the right reasons, but you will also enjoy watching it! A great piece of Film history...
very satisfied, 2009-04-20
The product was wrapped and the box was very secure. There wasn't any rattle or anything wrong with the box. The video's are both in good condition and play on my dvd with no problems. Would recommend to anybody you wants an unusual dvd.
Best version of this classic movie, 2009-09-01
This is by far the best version of this great classic movie. The acting is great, the cinematography is good, and even the island scenes look good. If you are interested in viewing a great old movie, go no further than this!!
