"Mutiny on the Bounty"

Films/DVD Asylum

Movies from comedy to drama to your favorite Hollyweird Star.

Charles Laughton is relentlessly over the top as a a thoroughly mean and driven captain who starts off by ordering a dead man flogged as a lesson to his brand new crew. Clark Gable plays the mutinous Fletcher Christian who takes the Bounty back to Tahiti and then on to Pitcain's Island when Laughton arrives on another ship, having survived a 1300 mile journey in an overcrowded open boat. There are 30's style attempts at humor involving a dumb sailor and bilge buckets that should have been left out of the film. A bit long but very entertaining. I plan to watch the Brando remake next and then the Gibson?Hopkins version, the best of the three.
