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

Average Rating: 
Rating:  - 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.
Rating: - "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

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. ... Read More

Rating: - The Best Version of Mutiny on the Bounty, period.
Despite the negative reception this film received during its initial release (much related to Brando's infamous behavior on the set) this version of the historic mutiny is beautifully shot, intelligently scripted, and moves along at a good pace. Trevor Howard plays Captain Bligh as a truly misguided tyrant and commands attention whenever he is on screen. Marlon Brando plays Fletcher Christian as a gentrified dandy, that adds a very interesting dimension to the dynamics between the two leads, lending considerable ... Read More
Rating: - Brando & his Bounty
This epic 60's version plus "The Bounty" w/Mel Gibson and Anthony Hopkins are interesting contrasts to the original '35 version w/Laughton and Gable. Despite the criticism of this film, I rather liked Brando's take on Christian as a fop or English gentleman which is in direct contrast to Gable's all American macho version. Even Gibson's neurotic, almost latent homo-erotic attraction to Bligh was interestingly also. In his autobiography, Brando hated the original, citing Gable's performance as uninspiringly because ...
