The original 1935 version of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' is a still-enjoyable adventure that is now regarded as the definite classic version of the popular story. Looking back, the 1935 film is still an entertaining classic but it is not perfect!... Full review

This movie follows the book more closely than the Hopkins/Gibson 1980's version, and that's partly why I liked it better. Mutiny on the Bounty is one of the great classics.... Full review

This movie, nominated for Best Picture, was under-rated, probably because of Brando's supposed behavioral problems on the set. They changed directors and I'm amazed this film is as good as it is. Brando is great as a foppish Fletcher Christian... Full review

The film feels wonderfully authentic and considering the picture was made in 1962, "Mutiny on the Bounty" is very impressive for its seafaring sequences.
Mutiny on the Bounty" is a beautifully shot film that greatly benefits from the large sailing ship built entirely for the production.
