Review of The Bounty (1984) by Raymond S — 06 Aug 2007
This is an interesting counter to the more famous Mutiny on the Bounty (MGM's 1930s Charles Laughton version) because it is sympathetic towards Bligh, and is apparently recognised by historians as a more credible account of the real-life events.
Hopkins is very good as the troubled but skilled mariner and Gibson, in an early role is believable as the Fletcher Christian swayed by the exotic temptations of the South Seas.
