Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Moral equivocation was a common trait among several of Marlon Brando's characters in the early part of his career, and so it makes good theoretical sense that he would play the role of Fletcher Christian, the tormented first mate aboard the British naval vessel Bounty. But in fact the part is an ill fit for the actor, whose British accent is poor and who never looked quite right in period costume, anyway. Director Lewis Milestone (All Quiet On the Western Front) makes a good-looking and at times (especially during scenes of shipboard cruelties and conflict) compelling movie out of the material, but overall the film just isn't there. --Tom Keogh

- A Fiasco
To call this re-telling of the 1935 cinematic classic a failure would be overly generous. It is a fiasco. In fact, it may be the worst big-budget movie ever made.
The antics that of Marlon Brando, who played Fletcher Christian, during filming have become legendary. He was often too drunk and spaced out on drugs to even read his lines from cards held up in front of him; he gained so much weight that he had to be filmed from different angles; etc. However, this movie would have a disaster even if Brando had been completely sober and maintained the same weight.
For reasons that are incompressible to me, the part of the plot leading up to the mutiny is made to hinge on the contrast that is created by depicting Fletcher Christian as an aristocratic fop and Captain Bligh as a self-made man who has risen through the ranks. To create the former persona, Brando seems to have imitated the intonations and mannerisms ... Read More

- Mutiny on the Bounty is excellent
Was familiar with the movie altho it had been a number of years since I'd seen it. It's excellent. The DVD was in good shape; delivery was as promised. Everything as expected.

- "MUTINY" OF 1962 WITH BRANDO IS UNDERRATED
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's
Bligh is a cruel, inhuman taskmaster (even though the real Bligh wasn't
that bad). The Tahitians who were tricked into serving aboard the Bounty
wasn't brought out, but that is another story, outside the book. The crew
of the Bounty couldn't have been a better group of actors. Then there's
Brando's Fletcher Christian. Okay, maybe he was a little over the top
in some respects, but more appealing than Clark Gable or Mel Gibson's
Christian. Don't agree? Take a longboat on a long voyage!
