A great cast is led by England's great Trevor Howard. Although the popular story of the mutiny on the Bounty, as depicted in every celluloid version of that event, is once again true to that theme of a tyrannical and sadistic Captain Bligh driving the crew to mutiny - the reason for the factual rebellion of HALF of the Bounty's crew - is open to question. Alternative research suggests that though a stern disciplinarian, Bligh was also simply a superb mariner that history might have significantly wronged. Mind you, no-one should be too surprised though if Hollywood just might have overcooked the "Bligh the mindless sadist will put more bums on seats again" angle. should they? Still, it's a good movie though!

Everything to love about this movie and I believe it's perhaps the best one out of the three Mutiny movies produced. The ship was built for the movie and I believe still existence. Features tell about the ship, filming, who purchased it after the movie was made, and where it is today.

This DVD set(2 DVDs) was complete and very well done, even if it had an important (TO ME!) deletion from the original roadshow version of the movie. The movie itself has been tagged "The definitive Bounty." Marlon Brando bragged he wasted 4M making it. After all, what movie in recollection had the actual ship built the old fashioned way? And he DID marry Tarita. But this DVD does NOT have the original topless scene between Tarita and Brando. HECK!! And the 1st and last scenes shown in the ABC Movie of the Week version are only in the Special Features section. Like all "Bounty" movies, the story line does NOT stick to the actual story in many places. For example, Christian was NOT second in command until the original guy fell sick. And he didn't die from trying the save the burning ship. He was actually killed by some of the Tahitians who rebelled against being virtual slaves to the Bounty's crew. I guess ya gotta fantasize about SOMEthing! But Brando is no Gable! However, the realism is there, (YOU try sailing around Cape Horn in the middle of winter) as well as breathtaking color. The 2nd DVD shows many facets of making the movie, including building the "Bounty" replica. All in all, I heartily recommend this version of the DVD set. Just don't expect to see any topless natives!Read full review
