When the mutiny does happen, watching them work together(or against each other) is truly beautiful. All of these different characters and more, play off one another beautifully. Although Mills plays a key role in the film, his character does not hold much mystery the captain overreacts too much, and he does not think it right. Then there is Brown, who ever the gentleman, tries to be loyal to Bligh,but, in the end, he must obey his gentle ways and go against the captain's harsh methods. On the other hand, there is McCoy, the old 30 year veteran-someone who seemly would have experienced cruelty similar to Bligh's-who mutinied along with the younger members. He sees the wrongful treatment that his captain is giving the crew, but he does not want to go against the navy. It chooses to downplay the story more to better concentrate on the surprisly complex characters. #MUTINY ON THE BOUNTY CAPTAIN CROSSWORD MOVIE#While the older Mutiny told a by the numbers high-seas adventure with sword fights and glitzy hollywood melodrama, the 1962 version turns out to as less of an action movie and more of a drama. I loved it! I do not think that it is better than the 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty, but it stands as a different take. How wrong I was to doubt the 1962 Mutiny on the Bounty. I hardly figured that the likes of a slurring Marlon Brando as Fletcher Christian and a cast of personally unfamiliar characters("who was Trevor Howard",I asked myself) could top the swashbuckling Clark Gable as Christian and the ripping story that the cast of the 1935 gem pulled off. It surprised me to learn that there was a remake to the 1935 Mutiny on the Bounty which I had recently watched for the 10th time. I first heard of this movie in the spring of 1996.
