MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY (1962):SE

1787. HMS Bounty sets out on a journey that will take it through perilous seas to a tropical paradise...and into history as the one of the most ill-fated vessels ever to sail for King and country. Lewis Milestone directed this color-drenched spectacular nominated for seven Academy Awards including Best Picture. Filmed before in 1935 and again in 1984's The Bounty, the gripping story centers on two men. Brando plays first officer Fletcher Christian as a dandy transformed into a man of action. Howard is Capt. William Bligh, uncompromising in his command or his cruelty. Fear is [my] best weapon, Bligh proclaims. But it's also the most costly, driving men to desperation and mutiny.
