Trivialidades:

Marlon Brando refused to really hit Richard Harris in a scene which was subsequently edited from the film. At one point Harris whispered, "Shall we dance?", and later he startled Brando by kissing him on the lips.

Errores:

Errores Reales: The actual mutiny did not happen in the manner portrayed in the film. Christian and the other mutineers actually took the ship in the early hours of the morning, while Bligh and almost everyone else was asleep.

Citas:

Captain Bligh: Midshipmen - be a dull navy without them. Now get that slut off my ship.

Terribly underrated version of the original classic

This is my favorite version of Mutiny of the Bounty, and I think it takes a very unfair pounding mainly on the basis of comparisons to the original. The production is superb, the story is paced a lot better, and it details Captain Bligh's cruelty more thoroughly. I can't vouch for the historical accuracy of the film, Brando's concept as a foppish Mr. Christian is a bit hard to believe, although he played it extremely well. Trevor Howard's Bligh is one of the most underrated performances in the world. For him to take a role heavily identified with another actor, play it his own way, and pull it off is extremely difficult. I give him enormous credit for this outstanding performance. I think the biggest criticism of this film is that it's not the original, but still extremely well done under the circumstances and very entertaining. ***
