between tyrannical captain William Bligh and his mutinous mate Fletcher Christian aboard an 18th-century British merchantman in the South Seas. Clark Gable (Christian), Charles Laughton (Bligh) and Franchot Tone (Roger Byam) garnered Best Actor nominations.

A bounty for viewers. Few adventures can approach MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY for its action-filled dramatization of good vs. evil. 1935's top grosser, the film confirmed Gable as Hollywood's biggest male star and gave Laughton the most famous role of his career.'
