MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY won the best picture Oscar for 1935, and I think it deserved it. Though none of the the three leads won best actor, they were all nominated for the award--the only time, I believe, that three best actor nominations came from the same film. (The movie received a total of 8 nominations.) As for this particular DVD, it contains a surprisingly excellent quality print, especially for a 1935 film classic. Highly recommended.

Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) is one of the greatest classic movies. Starring Clark Gable and Charles Laughton, this film won the Academy Award for Best Picture and garnered seven other Oscar nominations. Gable plays Lt. Fletcher Christian, first mate on the HMS Bounty, captained by Captain William Bligh (Laughton). When the captain's use of excessive force against the crew pushes the men to the limit, Christian leads many of the crew in a mutiny, abandoning Bligh and those loyal to him in a rowboat and sailing for Tahitian paradise. Bligh is determined, though, and survives to return home and bring charges against the mutineers. What will become of Christian and the men who supported him? Gable and Laughton give outstanding performances, as does Franchot Tone, who plays a crewman who accompanies the mutineers but has conflicting views with Gable. All three actors were nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role. Mutiny on the Bounty is a remarkable film with exciting action, stirring speeches, and great acting.Read full review
this is a great story and a great managing of it. especially the parts played by clark gable and charles laughton, two of the most superior human beings and actors that ever were. it also happens to be a true story. which makes it that much better because it makes you feel like it can be all good and so involves you in real life, which can always be for the good. i mean, for what you learn even if you dont do it all yourself or want to do it. it was about an even split that way. and all just great. everything you'd always ever wanted to do or not and then some. just great.

This is the 1935 version of " Mutiny on the Bounty ". Although it is in black and white; this enhanced DVD version is excellent viewing. Charles Laughton is truly the captain William Bligh and Clark Gable gives an excellent performance as Fletcher Christian. This is truly a classic film and a must have for anyone who truly knows the quality of a good film. Simply put; they just don't make them like they use to.
