  Clark Gable Filmography
Onboard the Bounty he stalks the decks with a peevish petulance, always aware of the men's dislike of him; but when given the opportunity to display the slightest hint of humanity, therefore gaining a little favor with them, he opts to have a man keel-hauled, and then revels in the crew's growing hatred.
Technically, MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY is still breathtaking, and the images of the ship -- it sails cracking and filling with the offshore breeze; the men scurrying up the rigging; the waves carrying her up and out to sea -- are sequences of extraordinary beauty which have not often been matched on film.
MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY was the most expensive film of 1935 with a reported budget of between $1,500,000 and $2,000, 000.

 Mutiny on the Bounty
Although the mutiny on the Bounty is of no particular historical significance, it is noteworthy as a struggle between two men, one of whom desperately wanted to be rid of the other.
The Bounty was purchased by the British Admiralty and re-christened from its original Bethia (as we are reminded by the 1935 movie, sailors consider the re-naming of any vessel to be bad luck).
Following the mutiny aboard the Bounty, Bligh was mutinied against in 1797 while serving as the captain of the H.M.S. Director, a 64-gun ship-of-the-line, during the briefly successful fleet uprising known as the "Mutiny at the Nore." He voluntarily relinquished command but was reinstated with the crew's approval when the fleet mutiny subsided.

 Mutiny on the Bounty, Sir John Barrow - Section 18 of 28 - Book Club/Fiction - ArcaMax Publishing
'The crime of mutiny, for which I am now arraigned, is so seriously pregnant with every danger and mischief, that it makes the person so accused, in the eyes, not only of military men of every description, but of every nation, appear at once the object of unpardonable guilt and exemplary vengeance.
If all who wished it could not accompany the captain, they were necessarily compelled to stay with Christian; and being with him, were dependent on him, subject to his orders, however disinclined to obey them, for force in such a state is paramount to every thing.
Happy indeed should I have been if the master had stayed on board, which he probably would have done, if his reasons for wishing to do so had not been overheard by the man who was in the bread-room.
