Review of Mutiny on the Bounty (1935) by Justin M — 01 Dec 2009
When I first rented this movie I thought it was going to be boring for me. I was very wrong. This film was absolutely stunning. I loved the Powerhouse performances by all three main actors. although I felt that Franchot Tone's performance was slightly overshadowed by The magnitude of the performances of Clark Gable and Charles Laughton.
It was an absolutely amazing film. I loved the pure villainy of Captain Bligh. I felt that Laughton did it perfectly. I hated Bligh after the first five minutes that I saw him (that guy was practically begging to get punched in the face but he was in power so what can you do?) He didn't really get his due in the end but the British Navy realized "yeah you're a complete jerk".
A superb film all around. Final Verdict: it deserved its Best Picture win and despite the fact that it didn't, it deserved to win Best Actor for either Gable or Laughton.
