The third film version of the historic tug-of-war between the tyrannical Captain Bligh and the stout-hearted Fletcher Christian starred Clark Gable, who brought his best leading-man chops, and Charles Laughton, whose legendary portrayal of the pompous dictator cemented his image in the public eye—for better and for worse.
