One of the greatest movies of all time!

Agreed Pickfair_86..agreed!

This is truly one of the finest movies ever made and I am still moved by the honest portrayals as well as the lovely Tahiti location shots filmed on the actual locations, and done with an exact replica, (still in existance in St. Petersburg Florida) of the HMS Bounty, constructed specifically for this moving film!

Laughton, Gable and Tone and the supporting players were all excellent.and believable!

I felt like I really was aboard the Bounty in this film, and felt the anguish of the ships company under the tyrant Bleigh, unlike the like the two later and inferior remakes that were okay, but ho-hum at best.

The 1935 version is a soul stirring masterpiece, not to be missed by a true movie fan on a greatly restored DVD presentation with wonderful extra's!

A solid rating of 10/10!

I loved this film. It was excellent and yes, Laughton, Gable and Tone ad everybody else mad the film worth watching, I don't care if the film was entirely true or not.

I like all three major adaptations of the Bounty story but thus wonderful film towers even above its impressive successors.

Laughton’s Bligh is one of the most despicable screen villains ever - he is simply brilliant in the role.

I am about halfway through it but I am shocked at how good it is and the production level.
