I'll agree with you about "The Chase" (which was Redford's debut, as I recall . . . he played Bubba). It is always underrated.But "Mutiny on the Bounty" is really pushing it. No matter how good you believe his insight was, he hated the movie (which is one of the reasons for "insight" . . . he knew it was offensive to the money interests). Whilst filming it he can be seen to read cue cards through the whole thing, even in his death scene. Basically all he wanted to do was go do the funky chicken thaing with his new Tahitian beauty. It virtually destroyed his movie career.
