  • Mutiny on the Bounty -- Classic sea adventure aboard the H.M.S. "Bounty" on a voyage to Tahiti in 1787 under cruel Captain Bligh (Charles Laughton) whose savage mistreatment of the crew finally drives chief officer Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable) to take command of the ship. Director Frank Lloyd gives a rousing account of life at sea under the strict discipline and harsh conditions of the era, but does even better with the human drama propelling this fact-based yarn of duty, comradeship and divided loyalties in the face of injustice. Stylized violence and a romantic situations. (A-II) (br) ( 1935 )
