A Star, an inferior director and a bad performance
21 March 2011
The Star is Gable. Cannot plays a British seaman.Looks stupid The is the worst film I saw where Charles Laughton cannot act. Probably because the Stupid director Frank (?) Whats's is name cannot direct.. The story is abridged. The Historical fact that Bligh tried and failed to pass Cape Horn, is omitted. Zero for the screenplay.

Marlon Brando's version of 1962 is overall superior, not for Marlon that play his usual vanity, but because Lewis Milestones knew what he was doing, Trevor Howard is a more credible Bligh.

Above all a film that takes place mostly at sea, must be in color.

This one is for anacrophiles..
