REVIEW: One of the most infamous and daring tales of mutiny at sea, the story of HMS Bounty’s fateful voyage as presented by Charles Chauvel in 1933 is one of exotic adventure, treachery, peril and lasting historic significance.
Purchased by the Royal Navy and refitted for service, HMS Bounty embarked on an expedition to acquire breadfruit plants from the Tahiti region. With Commanding Lieutenant William Bligh (Mayne Lynton) at the helm and a hardworking crew ready to serve, the ship set sail and arrived in Tahiti after ten arduous months at sea. After collecting more than a thousand breadfruit plants and enjoying a taste of fraternization with the natives, the return journey was less than jovial. Marked with growing frustration and tension between crew, mutiny soon erupted and the rest became the stuff of legend. In his first ever film performance, screen legend Errol Flynn portrays infamous mutineer and man of action, Fletcher Christian.
In The Wake Of The Bounty is a detailed dramatized account of the mutiny aboard HMS Bounty on 28th of April, 1789. Fully restored and presented in a brand new transfer, In The Wake Of The Bounty incorporates documentary footage, anthropological observations and insightful narration.
SPECIAL FEATURES: *The Big Picture – Featurette on Charles Chauvel (74 mins) *Stills Gallery.
