The brutal and arrogant Captain Bligh (Charles Laughton in an Oscar-nominated performance) becomes antagonized by the genteel manner of the First Officer Christian Fletcher (Clark Gable, who was also nominated for the "Best Actor" Oscar). While in Tahiti, the men of The Bounty are seduced by the gentle beauty of the island and its women. Nominated for 8 Academy Awards and winning for "Best Picture," this 1935 vigorous retelling of a true historic incident about a British ship commandeered from its brutal master, remains a cinematic classic.     Cartoon Shorts Discussed: Buccaneer Bunny (1948) Mutiny on the Bunny (1950)   Buccaneer Bunny (1948) Directed by I.
