剧 情 简 介
      这是发生在英国历史上的一个真实事件，描述1789年在英国皇家海军邦蒂号军舰上由于年轻的海军士官拜姆和大副克里斯蒂不满舰长威廉布莱的凶残虐待而带领水手们发起叛变。影片开始时，这艘军舰奉命从英国到大溪地寻找一种名为“面包树”的植物，但舰长在航行途中为达目的不择手段，对船员做出种种不人道的行为，因而在叛变中被驱逐离舰。编剧通过一个富于冒险和浪漫色彩的军事题材故事，把矛盾冲突集中在一次充满惊涛骇浪的航行中，塑造了舰长和大副克里斯蒂两个性格鲜明的银幕形象。影片的情节发展紧张激烈，节奏明快，因而获得最佳影片金像奖。本片中的三个男主角，查尔斯．劳顿、克拉克．盖博、和弗朗肖．托恩演出同样精彩，同时获得了奥斯卡最佳男主角的提名，是奥斯卡历史上唯一的一次纪录。

网评：（IMDB）

This first version of 'Mutiny on the Bounty' (it would be remade 27 years later and again in the 1980s) has a strong performance by Charles Laughton as Captain Bligh; some might say it is a scenery-chewing performance, and that may be true, but he's memorable, and more so that Trevor Howard in the 1960s. As Fletcher Christian, who eventually leads mutiny against the tyrannical captain, Clark Gable appears without his trademark moustache and acquits himself pretty well. Another key role in this movie is that of Roger Byam, a chap who just joins the ship and the person who witnesses all the events that unfold. He's played by that reliable actor, Franchot Tone.

This is a story of men who clash, of different perspectives which diverge, and of the different ways that peace and freedom can eventually be found. Christian's answer to his predicament is to stay in the island idyll he has found (with Tehanni, his princess of paradise, played by Movita - interestingly both Movita and Tarita, who played the character in the 1960s, married Marlon Brando).

Frank Lloyd's film brings the harshness of the British Navy together with the fantasy of a world away and does it well. The 1960s version went a little overboard in its shock factor, but this version comes off much better.
