Abridged Book Description[]
Epitomizing the classic Hollywood spirit, Frank Lloyd's Mutiny on the Bounty is a masterwork of studio moviemaking. The film's spare-no-expense canvas, travelogue quality, and moral center result in an adventure tale of remarkable beauty... Gable appears without his moustache, and Laughton's bee-stung lips flutter with harsh discipline. In between are a number of nominal subplots, though in the end the film is perhaps most memorable as an early high-water mark for the art of production design.
