One Sentence Plot Summary: A mutiny, oddly enough, on a ship called the Bounty.
Starring: Charles Laughton, Clark Gable, Franchot Tone
Best of: Charles Laughton makes a fantasic villain. Slowly building tension. In the most graphic on-screen violence I've seen yet from the early best picture winners, a hand gets stabbed with a knife and it's 100% believable.
Worst of: It's all a bit over the top at times.
I'd have liked it better if: it were longer, oddly. I felt like the final half hour was somewhat rushed and it was the most engaging part of the storyline.
