This lush technicolor epic is no washout
A thoroughly enjoyable film. Marlon Brando was totally convincing as Fletcher Christian with his clipped upper class English accent and a studied insolence in his attitutude and responses to the Captain Bligh 's cruel orders . This single minded cruelty towards the motley group men who were unfortunate enough to be his crew was well played by Trevor Howard.
The Tahittan scenery was magical as were the wonderful dancing girls.
Supporting actors were superb especially Richard Harris as the rabble riser on board.
The ending was true to Bligh's judgment of his men .. foolish and not to be trusted..... but spectacular on screen.
I look forward to seeing it again at a later date.
Quite simply, if you haven't seen this film then just watch it. Quote long but a great story that hasn't dated. Marlon Brando is superb.
