When the news broke that MGM had the audacity to remake the hallowed 1935 classic “Mutiny on the Bounty” starring Clark Gable and Charles Laughton, the critics were aghast. As the news leaked out about concern in production, they whipped themselves into a self-righteous frenzy. Brando was a lightening rod for criticism because he was distinguished as arrogant hothead. Compared with Gable, who was universally loved and adored, Brando was a boor. It was almost sacrilegious to effect Brando in any fraction Gable had played. When the film opened, it never had a chance. It was ripped to shreds. Brando was ridiculed as a lower class character actor who couldn’t step up to the fragment, and derided for his poor attempt at an English accent. The film was a box office loser and critics smugly declared they told us so.

The film was beset by problems throughout production. The full-scale replica of the Bounty arrived on dwelling two months after the film was scheduled to open shooting. There were three deaths among the film’s personnel and the film ran well over budget. The biggest problems were the result of Brando’s constant temper tantrums as he tried to rewrite the entire film from the place. At least six writers came and went. After countless confrontations, director Carol Reed gave up and pause to be replaced by Lewis Milestone (“All Detached on the Western Front’) . Milestone was an utterly intractable director that Brando couldn’t bully. The result was a battle between the immovable object and the irresistible force, with daily emotional pyrotechnics that further delayed the film. Although Milestone usually prevailed in the fracases, this film turned out to be his last in a 37-year career.

Over the years, the critics have continued to pillory the film, but the public generally receives it more favorably as time passes. Though I often disagree with the masses, in this case I concur. Having seen both the 1935 and 1962 versions, I catch the latter. Gable is clearly more charming and dashing in the role, but Brando gives the more complete performance. Gable’s Christian seems far less ruffled by the events that transpire on the Bounty, whereas Brando accomplishes a believable transition from the cavalier rogue to an noble hero who endures self-torment over the treasonous act. Though Brando’s English accent is oft ridiculed, I have heard far worse. Portion of the plight probably stemmed from the fact that the accent he attempted to imitate was very upper crust and he delivered it with a sure sneering tone that made it seem like he was mocking the English. Unprejudiced hearing that accent from the same lips that gave us, “I coulda been a contenda” was a kind of ironic comedy unto itself.

Between the Bligh portrayed by Charles Laughton and that depicted by Trevor Howard in the remake, Howard wins hands down for pure detestability. Most of the production values, such as music, place invent and costumes were great in the remake. Moreover, the remake was more historically just than the recent.

The film features a youthful Richard Harris in the role of Mills, who gives an well-behaved performance of the petulant sailor. Also much is the attractive Tarita, a native Tahitian who plays Christian’s savor interest Maimiti, and does a scorching belly dance. This was Tarita’s only film, but to anyone who has seen the film, she will not be soon forgotten.

This is an advantageous film. It was nominated for seven Oscars including Best Portray, but it was shut out, trampled by “Lawrence of Arabia”. It is highly attractive with improbable costumes, props and sets, improbable locations and photography, and some terrific performances. Though many will disagree, I rated it a 10/10. If one can step assist from the controversy that swirled around this film when it debuted, it is an easy film to indulge in.

Ok. First things first. Let us not forget that this film is based on the trilogy of books by Charles Nordorff and James Norman Hall. These books are fictional accounts based on loyal events, and record William Bligh as a sadistic, brutal tyrant instead of the accomplished seaman he truly was. After all he was one of the best foul-weather commanders of his day and a navigator of such quality that the charts he drew were unexcited obsolete by the British navy factual up until the second world war.

I have read among other reviewers of Bligh’s “trademark discipline and lashings”. This is honest not apt. Bligh himself was definite that he would not lose a single member of the ship’s crew on his expedition, and in fact, only flogged one man on the outward voyage (an act which he bitterly regretted!) .

He was a passionate man, that had risen through the ranks and he was certain to succeed on the mission appointed to him. His only downfall was that he lacked imagination, he was a pedantic man that did everything by the book, this made him inflexible to situations. There was no more a caring individual that attempted to round Cape Horn for 30 days, do you contemplate that a crew that had suffered outrageous punishment from the begin of their ride would then suffer such grueling conditions for so long and not settle this point to mutiny? It is testiment to Bligh’s ability to sigh tha his men carried on working for him until he decided theirs was a lost cause.

From the time the Bounty landed at Tahiti, Bligh let his men down. He allowed them to carry on for the next 5 months doing whatever they chose, while he isolated himself in scientific studies. If Bligh had mustered his crew regularly and spent time sailing the Pacific whilst his gardeners prepared their cargo, discipline would have been maintained. Ultimately, when the ship Weighed anchor and departed Matavai Bay, complacency and sloth had taken root among the crew. This then would understandably lead to bitterness and resentment for the return to naval discipline.

I have read also, that the mutiny, when it happened, happened very (too) posthaste and suddenly in the film. Well, this IS exactly what happened, Christian had decided to run the ship and his abuser alone and on a makeshift raft. It was only after speaking to Edward Young that he found that there would be others amongst the crew who would be willing to befriend him acquire the ship and return to Tahiti. Thus events were set aside into situation that happened very snappy indeed, events that Christian would bitterly regret for the rest of his life.

This film also suggests that Bligh and Christian were unaquainted before the fateful voyage, this again is not lawful as they had sailed together on three previous occasions. Richard Hough, in his expedient book, Capt. Bilgh and Mr. Christian, suggests that their relationship could have had undertones of a homosexual nature. This could be quite possible, as it was not outlandish for sailors who were living in such finish quarters for long periods of time to view to each other for relief, although the Articles of War forbade it, and anyone found guilty of this “crime” faced the death penalty! It is certainly just that Bligh showed the young Master’s Mate a worthy deal of favouritism, promoting him to Acting Lieutenant after landing at Tenerife. It is also well documented that Bligh frequently invited Christian to his cabin. In fact Bigh had sent an invitation to him on the night before the mutiny, which Christian had declined. It is possible that Bligh had become resentful of Christian’s relationship with Isobella (Christian’s name for Miamiti, after his aunt), and took his jealousy out on him by humiliating Christian in front of the crew. This would go some contrivance to define Christian’s reapeted cries of “I AM IN HELL!”.

It should be notorious that Bligh was recognised as a national hero on his retrun to England and absolved of all blame for the loss of his ship. It wasn’t until he left again on another voyage that the Courts Martial for the remain mutineers, who had now been bought home,took residence and that public conception started to turn against him, and he began to be portrayed as the tyrant shown in this film. But, it should be remembered that at the time of his death, Bligh ahd reached the tainted of Vice Admiral of The Blue, no mean feat for such an “abusive” man!

Brando’s Foppish, Arrogant aristocratic represent of Christian is off target. Christian’s family were not aristocratic. They were a well-to-do family from Cumberland, but not so high up the social ladder as shown here.

Enjoy this film, I did. But be pleased it for what it is, a fictional fable of adventure on the high seas. Brando is on top earn, camping it up in his role (obviously out of the control of the director!), the photography is glowing as are the locations. The script is spirited and humorous, and the rest of the cast terrific. Trevor Howard’s Bligh is a miniature too one dimensional, but then that is exactly what this describe is trying to present.

I give this film four stars objective for the sheer enjotment I got from it. The missing fifth star is for the truth. I won’t design comparisons with the earlier Laughton/Gable film, or the later Hopkins/Gibson film, as they are each scrumptious films in their acquire factual and are definately worth viewing. Although the latter goes a petite more for the truth.
