I don't know how and why people looked at the "Mutiny on The Bounty (1962)" & "The Bounty (1984)" and considered they were better than this film. To me, this film is a much better film about the seamanship and how the crew of a ship turned to mutiny as the only way to solve the inhuman treatment by an cruel captain or the first officer of the ship. This film was actually with better screenplay, better directing, and best of all, the great acting by almost everyone on that battleship. And the beautiful thing of this film was when patriotism surpassed the mutinous private and personal goal, the crew had decided to put their hatred toward their officers behind and did the right thing for their country. This is one of the best films about the regular people on the sea and how they made a right decision at the critical moment. Love it, just love it.
