The Bounty
Roger Donaldson took over the reins from David Lean for this revisionist take on Mutiny on the Bounty, a film made instantly appealing by its dream cast; Mel Gibson as Fletcher Christian, Anthony Hopkins as William Bligh, and a supporting crew made up of Laurence Olivier, Daniel Day-Lewis, and Liam Neeson. A more than respectable attempt, Robert Bolt’s literate screenplay and Arthur Ibbetson’s stately cinematography gave the film a high-toned veneer that sat well with the critics.
