Casting is first rate: Anthony Hopkins, Mel Gibson, Laurence Olivier, Edward Fox, Daniel Day-Lewis, Liam Neeson, Bernard Hill. Interesting IMDB trivia:
Mel Gibson was disappointed with his performance and the finished movie. He later said of the movie, "I think the main problem with that film was that it tried to be a fresh look at the dynamic of the mutiny situation, but didn't go far enough. In the old version, Captain Bligh was the bad guy and Fletcher Christian was the good guy. But really Fletcher Christian was a social climber and an opportunist. They should have made him the bad guy, which indeed he was. He ended up setting all these people adrift to die, without any real justification. Maybe he'd gone island crazy. They should have painted it that way. But they wanted to exonerate Captain Bligh while still having the dynamic where the guy was mutinying for the good of the crew. It didn't quite work."
Marlon Brando rocks,his best performance -On the Waterfront,Street car named Desire and Godfather.
His performance in this one was weird. Trevor Howard was awesome though. There are actually 2 other versions including 1933's In the Wake of the Bounty. Never saw those. I remember liking the 1962 version because of the build up to the mutiny and the cinematography. And Trevor Howard of course.
Brando was distracted by that tahiti beauty,she later became his wife and bear him children,
And FOOD. I heard that they had to keep making him new clothes because he gained so much weight while making Mutiny.
Quote:
Hell, even before his weight gain, Brando would sit on set eating entire roast chickens between takes and he would randomly wander off when he wasn’t needed on set to go find things to eat. This happened so much so that studios had to send people to physically drag Brando back to the set because if they didn’t, he’d gorge himself on fatty food and then fall asleep. That not crazy enough for you? Well while he was filming of Mutiny on the Bounty, Brando had a plane filled with champagne and ham flown to his location in Tahiti. .
