The 1962 film based on the Nordoff/Hall book about the "Mutiny on the Bounty" is an under-appreciated work of cinema. Aside from the beautiful settings the characters do the story well. Trevor Howard'sBligh is a cruel, inhuman taskmaster (even though the real Bligh wasn'tthat bad). The Tahitians who were tricked into serving aboard the Bountywasn't brought out, but that is another story, outside the book. The crewof the Bounty couldn't have been a better group of actors. Then there'sBrando's Fletcher Christian. Okay, maybe he was a little over the topin some respects, but more appealing than Clark Gable or Mel Gibson'sChristian. Don't agree? Take a longboat on a long voyage!
