Movie Review: Mutiny on the Bounty (1935)

This movie has actually been remade a couple of times but the 1935 edition is the original, starring Charles Laughton, Clark Gable, and Franchot Tone.  Mutiny on the Bounty won the Oscar for best movie in 1936.

After watching the way the crew are abused for one day too many, Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable) successfully leads a mutiny against the ruthless Captain Bligh (Charles Laughton) on the HMS Bounty. Bligh and his supporters are cast adrift in a small boat in the middle of the ocean. Somehow the castaways manage to survive and are rescued. A year later Bligh captures the mutineers and they face the music for their crimes.

Excellent acting and tons of drama. A great movie to watch.
