We head to sea with the 8th Best Picture winner, Frank Lloyd’s colonial drama, Mutiny on the Bounty. Featuring lead performances from Clark Gable and Charles Laughton, this adaptation of Charles Nordhoff and James Norman Hall’s book tells the true story* of the HMS Bounty and its occupants as they travail across the oceans to Tahiti in search of some plants.
Co-hosts Dave and Andrew talk about the social relevance of this drama, while also reflecting on the timeless qualities of this tale, ultimately leading to the eternal question of the podcast: does Mutiny on the Bounty still matter?
*with some highly fictionalised aspects.
