 English conscripts
sailing on a mission to Tahiti buckle under the chastisements
of cruel Captain William Bligh (Charles Laughton). The captain's
grotesque abuses of power, including a brutal flogging that results
in the death of the sick old ship's doctor, finally inspire a
mutiny on the return voyage, conducted under the leadership of
fair-minded officer Fletcher Christian (Clark Gable). A solid
sea-going adventure epic with breathtaking location photography,
authentically designed, elaborate ships and props, and compelling
performances from its leads. Academy Award® Nominations:
8, including three Best Actors (Gable, Laughton, and Tone), Best
Director, Best Screenplay, Best Editing, and Best Score.
