Mutiny on the Bounty
After winning the Best Picture for the first version starring Clark Gable in 1935, MGM pulled out all the stops to remake the true story of the H.M.S. bounty as a multi-million dollar mega-production. Filmed on location, in the 70mm Ultra-Panavision process, and featuring an unforgettable performance by Marlon Brando, Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Western Front) directed this color-drenched spectacular nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture.
Marlon Brando puts his own stamp on the role of first officer Fletcher Christian, the tormented first mate transformed into a man of action. Trevor Howard is Capt. William Bligh, uncompromising in his command and his cruelty. Richard Harris, Hugh Griffith and Richard Haydn also star.
